i added a herecura repo and messed up the key now nothing passes the check

07 April 2022, 16:40:38

i tried to install opera it asked for a key so rather than importing it, which has never worked for me before (but i see now it can) so i opened a seperate terminal to gpg --receive-key whatever the number was and gpg --lsign whatever the number was

now nothing i download from herecura repo will pass the check. how do i fix the key or delete them and start over?
