dnf error: gpg check failed

Fixes DNF package installs failing with gpg check failed on Fedora, RHEL, and compatible systems. Use when dnf refuses a package because its signature cannot be verified. Not for a package that is simply unavailable in the enabled repositories.

Re-run the failing command and read which package and which repository dnf names just above the failure.

Check the repo file for that repository and note the gpgkey entry it declares.

Import the vendor's current signing key using the key source named in the repo file or the vendor install instructions.

Clear the cached metadata for that repository only, then retry the install.

If only one package fails while others from the same repo install, remove that downloaded package file and retry so dnf fetches a fresh copy.

Confirm signature checking is still enabled in the repo config after the fix.
