A katello user reported this: https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/32145

which seemed like a purely pulp issue.

"Error doesn't make it clear that the issue with Release integrity check failing, or that key is invalid.
There is nothing in the dynflow console either."

I believe this is so by design: Pulp deb simply discards any release files that fail to validate, if none are left, we get the error.

I will take this ticket as a feature request for a clearer error message, which strikes me as valid enough.

This has once again led to user confusion: https://community.theforeman.org/t/ubuntu-repo-sync-not-working/29950

We should work on this issue.
