<p>Following the <a href="https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">official how-to</a> (step #6) and trying to verify bitcoin-26.0 release signature, I'm unable to import any of the <a href="https://github.com/bitcoin-core/guix.sigs/tree/main/builder-keys" rel="nofollow noreferrer">builder keys</a> I download.</p>
<p>For example on <code>gpg --import achow101.gpg</code>, I get</p>

<p>Does anyone had the same issue? I'm using Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS.</p>

I cannot reproduce your issue. My steps were: 1. go to the [key file](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/guix.sigs/blob/main/builder-keys/achow101.gpg) of achow101, 2. click "Download raw file" button, 3. `gpg --import Downloads/achow101.gpg` which succeeded. This machine runs Ubuntu 23.04, but I don’t expect that to be the issues. How did you acquire the file?

# Errors while verifying public keys in pgp (bitcoin core 26 / ubuntu 22.04)

(Asked by: username_0 on 2024-01-19)

Following the official how-to (step #6) and trying to verify bitcoin-26.0 release signature, I'm unable to import any of the builder keys I download.
For example on gpg --import achow101.gpg, I get
gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=7b)
gpg: read_block: read error: Invalid packet
gpg: import from 'achow101.gpg' failed: Invalid keyring
gpg: Total number processed: 0

Does anyone had the same issue? I'm using Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS.
Many thanks.
