Catch22 installing RPM-GPG-KEY

[Jonathan Ryshpan]

An attempt to install vlc failed because my system is missing one of
the gpg key files, namely:
/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-free-fedora-27
Attempts to install it fail, because it's not installed.  At the bottom
is a log of an attempt to install it, reformatted to fit on the screen
without too much folding.

What's the best way to get the file installed?

Thanks - jon

You generally don't need to install these manually.  You
just install the rpmfusion-free-release package (which you
already seem to have, based on the 'dnf provides' output
below).

But for reference, if you want to manually import a GPG key
to the rpm database, use:

$ sudo rpm --import /path/to/to/key

If 'dnf provides' can tell you this, you already have the
rpmfusion-free release package installed.  If you don't have
/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-free-fedora-27 then
something is wrong with your install and you should
reinstall the rpmfusion-free-release package to fix it.

I would check the current repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d to
ensure you don't have any rpmfusion files you created
manually.  If not, then reinstall the rpmfusion-free-release
package:

$ sudo dnf reinstall
https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E
%fedora).noarch.rpm

Perhaps you installed the rpmfusion-free-release package
long ago and then upgraded fedora (as opposed to a fresh
install).  This should update the rpmfusion-free-release
package which provides the proper GPG keys.  But it's hard
to say where things went wrong on your system.

You may want to check the version and verify the
rpmfusion-free-release package.

$ rpm -q rpmfusion-free-release
$ rpm -V rpmfusion-free-release
