While verifying my download of Fedora-34, I encounter this message:

I surmise this means that my computer's list of trusted signatures

needs to be brought up to date (actually it may not even exist).  How

can this be done?  A link to info would suffice.

There's nothing wrong with that output.  The warning is

simply telling you that the Fedora key isn't signed by a key

you've marked as trusted.

As an aside, we (the royal we, as in folks in the Fedora

community who maintain the website) should change the

verification step to recommend gpgv rather than the gpg

command.  It would require making the fedora.gpg a

de-armored file, but then it the instructions would be

simpler.
