Tried to fix keyring myself

this happened before toady’s fix of

I manually removed all Brave keys in Update Manager, then uninstalled and reinstalled
‘Brave’ and ‘Brave-keyring’ inside of Synaptic Package Manager. This is what synaptic looks like now.
pakmgr

This is an identical machine Linux Mint 18.3 xfce and Brave 0.62.51.

I added the wrong top link

Can you paste the contents of the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-.list file in here?

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-xenial.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/nilarimogard-webupd8-xenial.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list

Oh, it looks like you have two copies of the repository. Try deleting one of them:

rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-.list

The other one (/etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-xenial.list) should have the Brave packages you need.

source

it didn’t remove any

You’ll need to use sudo to run this command as the root user:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-.list

I was on the wrong machine

this is the list for the bad Synaptic Package Manager.

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release-xenial.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/nilarimogard-webupd8-xenial.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list

Try removing the duplicate repository using the last command I provided.

Okay Synaptic and Update Manager are both working.
