I do not have Google Chrome installed, and I am still getting this same Error in Fedora 43 pre-released.

failed to add subkeys for /var/cache/PackageKit/43/metadata/google-chrome-43-x86_64/linux_signing_key.pub to rpmdb

I don't like Google Chrome for the anti adblock stance

Yes can confirm.......

PackageKit error: PackageKit::Transaction::ErrorBadGpgSignature "Bad GPG signature found" "failed to add subkeys for /var/cache/PackageKit/43/metadata/google-chrome-43-x86_64/linux_signing_key.pub to rpmdb"

Receive the error above when using Discover to install any rpm program. Flatpaks seem to work fine.

Yeah thing is the google chrome repo seems to be enabled by default.

I have disabled the repo before and still had the same issue.

When I can I will test that again to make sure.
