ı am using emacs 28.2 in manjaro linux and ı got error like this Error while verifying signature archive-contents.sig: when ı install jedi with M-x shortcut ı am looking at to this url How to proceed on package.el signature check failure but ı can not install gnu-elpa-keyring-update package because when ı write gnu-elpa-TAB M-x gives [No match]

package-archives values is:

package-archives is a variable defined in ‘package.el’.

Its value is
(("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
 ("nongnu" . "https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/")
 ("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))
Original value was 
(("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
 ("nongnu" . "https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/"))

An alist of archives from which to fetch.
The default value points to the GNU Emacs package repository.

Each element has the form (ID . LOCATION).
 ID is an archive name, as a string.
 LOCATION specifies the base location for the archive.
  If it starts with "http(s):", it is treated as an HTTP(S) URL;
  otherwise it should be an absolute directory name.
  (Other types of URL are currently not supported.)

Only add locations that you trust, since fetching and installing
a package can run arbitrary code.

HTTPS URLs should be used where possible, as they offer superior
security.

  This variable may be risky if used as a file-local variable.
  This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
  version 28.1 of Emacs.
  You can customize this variable.

init file is:

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)

(package-initialize)
(custom-set-variables
 '(package-selected-packages '(jedi)))
(custom-set-faces

there is comment lines but ı dont add them into here

ı have /tmo/foo.el file what contains this codes

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)

and ı open emacs with this codes

emacs -Q -l /tmp/foo.el

and ı write this codes in my terminal

curl -X GET https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/ | grep gnu-elpa                             
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current

and ı open again my emacs with emacs -Q -l

M-x package-install RET gnu-elpa

and nothing changed

this paragraph was answer because of ı installed gnu-elpa-keyring-update but ı have still same problem ı copied my answer to here

  • ı remove emacs and foo.el and .emacs files and reinstall emacs
  • ı typed ALT key with SHIFT + : (so ı mean M-: ) and ı write (setq package-check-signature nil)
  • ı dont close emacs and ı type M-x package-install RET gnu-elpa-keyring-update

answer finished

  • ı tried reset package-check-signature to the default value allow-unsigned, e.g. M-: (setq package-check-signature "allow-unsigned") RET

ı follow answer in this question link and ı wrote codes about gpg to my terminal but nothing changed

gpg --homedir ~/.emacs.d/elpa/gnupg --receive-keys 066DAFCB81E42C40             
gpg: key 066DAFCB81E42C40: "GNU ELPA Signing Agent (2019) <elpasign@elpa.gnu.org>" no change
gpg: total amount processed: 1
gpg:                    no change: 1

  • What `M-x shortcut` is that? – NickD Dec 19 '22 at 15:54
  • when we write package install to we should press the ALT + X keys together so this combination is M-x shortcut, maybe not shortcut but definetly understandable ı think? – Vahşi Bozkırlı Dec 20 '22 at 12:58
  • What I am asking is what *exactly* you type *after* you type `M-x`. – NickD Dec 20 '22 at 12:59
  • firstly ı typed M-: and (setq package-check-signature nil) RET, second ı typed M-x and ı wrote package-install, ı wrote gnu-elpa and typed TAB but ı saw [No match] ? – Vahşi Bozkırlı Dec 20 '22 at 13:07
  • What is the value of `package-archives`? Do `C-h v package-archives` to find out and edit your question to add that information. In general, at this point, the more information you provide the better, otherwise we have to extract every bit by asking you. In particular, add the (relevant portion of your) init file to your question. – NickD Dec 20 '22 at 13:14
  • ı did what you want, ı typed C-h v package-archives and ı add output into here also ı added init file( .emacs file) so you can see what you needed in my question – Vahşi Bozkırlı Dec 20 '22 at 13:32
  • It may be that completion does not work. What happens if you say `M-x package-install gnu-elpa-keyring-update RET` specifying the package completely? – NickD Dec 20 '22 at 20:15
  • Note also that what you describe above is not quite what I asked you to do (e.g. when you used `emacs -Q -l /tmp/foo.el` to start emacs, did you do `M-x package-install gnu-elpa-` *in that session*? Why is that separate from the `emacs -Q -l` invocation at the end and why is there no file specified there? If you don't follow directions *exactly* then I'm left guessing about what you did exactly: if that continues, I will stop trying to help. – NickD Dec 20 '22 at 20:18
  • I wrote all my actions respectively in my question, ı have /tmp/foo.el file and this file contains (require package) codes about melpa but to be honest when ı edited my foo.el file, ı closed my emacs and reopened with emacs -Q -l /tmp/foo.el code and ı tried M-x package install RET gnu-elpa but ı get [No match] this is my first try – Vahşi Bozkırlı Dec 23 '22 at 04:51
  • today ı try again and this is my second try: ı remove /tmp/foo.el file and create 'emacs -Q -l /tmp/foo.el ' and ı write (require package) codes about melpa so ı save with C-x C-s and ı type M-x package install RET gnu-elpa so ı get [No match] (different thing is ı dont close emacs like my first try) ı get second thing: emacs give same error in my question (verifying signature archive-contents.sig error) and ı tried 'curl -X GET https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/ | grep gnu-elpa' code in my all tries – Vahşi Bozkırlı Dec 23 '22 at 05:03
  • if you want we can meet in google meet as live and when ı do your says, you can watch me and see my do? to be honest when we meet in google meet ı wont speak(ı dont trust my speak and listening english skills) and ı wont open my camera ı share my all screen and ı will chat with you – Vahşi Bozkırlı Dec 23 '22 at 05:08
  • ı tried write gnu-elpa-keyring-update RET but nothings change – Vahşi Bozkırlı Dec 23 '22 at 05:12
  • OK - I don't really know what's going on still, but you seem to be doing the things I am asking you to do, correctly: apologies for doubting you. If you start with `emacs -Q -l /tmp/foo.el` and the singe-line `/tmp/foo.el` that just requires `package`, i.e. the file consists of a single line like this: `(require 'package)`, and then you do `M-x package-list-packages`, do you get a buffer listing all the packages available? If you switch to that buffer and you search for `gnu-elpa` (e.g. with `C-s`), do you find anything? – NickD Dec 23 '22 at 11:13
  • no, ı can not find anything about gnu-package maybe we should search another package? maybe emacs really dont have gnu-elpa and maybe replace with another thing? – Vahşi Bozkırlı Dec 24 '22 at 09:28
  • What version of emacs are you using? `M-x emacs-version` shows you that. Please update the question with the information. – NickD Dec 24 '22 at 14:39
