sbopkg GPG check Failed

Hi all,
Apologies if this is a duplicate, I did search first so I do not think it is.

I just fresh installed 14.2 on an old machine and did the familiar update sequence:

Code:

slackpkg update

slackpkg install-new

slackpkg upgrade-all

slackpkg clean-system

The next thing I did was install SBopkg and sync with the Slackbuilds repo. However, whenever I attempt to install anything, I get the following error:

Code:

GPG check FAILED!

Usually I'd only see this if there is a key error on the host side.

Additionally, when syncing sbopkg I am getting the following error:

Code:

gpgkeys: https fetch error 60

gpg: no valid GPG data found

Incidentally, I noticed that I am getting many certificate errors in Firefox too. What might I have messed up, given that this is a fresh installation?

I would check the date as seen by your system (with the "date" command).

Bingo! I set the date post install, but then I unplugged the machine to add some RAM. I guess the CMOS battery is bad.

I really should have thought of that...

Thanks!

Nevermind. You found the answer.
