Bug Description
After freshly installing the emacs25-nox package, the very first command I ran was
> M-x list-packages
Which immediately produced this error.
Failed to verify signature archive-
No public key for 066DAFCB81E42C40 created at 2020-02-
Command output:
gpg: Signature made Mon 10 Feb 2020 04:05:02 PM CST
gpg: using RSA key C433554766D3DDC
gpg: Can't check signature: No public key
I have no .emacs or .emacs.d configured - this is a 100% fresh "apt install" of emacs25-nox.
I would expect Emacs packaged with Ubuntu to be bundled with a valid key!
Also, none of the instructions on the internet actually work on getting this fixed!
