AlmaLinux releases have a constantly updated architecture. Most of the time, repo addresses can change and the keys used can become obsolete. In today's article, we will discuss your inability to update, especially due to outdated keys.

When updating your server, you may encounter an error sequence as follows.

The error seems to be caused by outdated update keys in general. For this, we need to import updated keys. Provide SSH connection and enter the code I have shared below.

sudo rpm --import https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/RPM-GPG-KEY-AlmaLinux

After the process, you can provide the update process again.
