I followed the official download guide to install Brave browser on my Fedora Linux 38. But it doesn’t install and showed the following error. I tried it multiple times and reboot my machine. Still it doesn’t install. Please solve the issue.

Error: GPG check FAILED
Additional Information:
I don’t want to use the Flatpak or Snap version.
I also encountered the same problem on fedora 38. I searched a lot online but later gave up and installed snap pakage. The security check is failing (i was able to understand that much only), one way to overcome this would be skip this GPG check (if possible) but that would be harmful as any malware could enter the system through packages.
Just tried to install Brave via DNF and DNF5, but I’m getting the same key error. I’ve been using the flatpak version, which I prefer, but as it is not official, I want to get back to the RPM one.

Have the exact same issue.
Got this Key - pg-pubkey-c2d4e821-5bc51032 Brave Software support@brave.com public key
Deleted the key and cleaned the cache packages and showed they were removed. Tried reinstall got the same error.
I tried the Beta version and it worked
Just tried again. Cleaned the packages and now get this error…

I notice there is a new brave-keyring package in their repo, does that solve anything? (i.e., repeat the earlier steps, except now you’ll get the newer keyring package; in addition to the browser package itself, which was just updated today.)
