Re: cannot download packages from elpa

[Daniel Sutton]

It appears so and I see you have helpfully created a package to help out with that. I'll research how to get our circle builds updated to use the new keys.

I found a reddit thread you created that is quite helpful as well if anyone else is in the same boat as me and CIDER: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/bn6k1y/updating_gnu_elpa_keys/

11 days, huh?  Sounds like you're bitten by the change of signing keys.
If you use Emacs-26.3 the problem should disappear.
If you use an older Emacs to fetch the packages you need to first update
the keys or disable signature checking.
