Does slackpkg check gpg keys on failed upgrades when invoked a second time?

Looking at the slackpkg script it isn't apparent to me where gpg is checked on packages that have already been downloaded but failed the gpg check.

NOTE that the gpg keys have now been updated, this is more a concern as to whether slackpkg will install unverified packages.

With the hope of clarification, here is a synopsis of the sequence of events:
'slackpkg update' completes without errors
First run of 'slackpkg upgrade-all' started, all packages download and cached
Code:
 $ sudo slackpkg upgrade-all
[1/56]	Package SDL2-2.30.1-x86_64-1.txz is already in cache - not downloading
...
[56/56]	Package xdg-desktop-portal-kde-5.27.11-x86_64-1.txz is already in cache - not downloading
installs begin, 7 of 56 packages install:

	ERROR - Package not installed! gpg error!
gpg (package 8/56) fails to install and subsequent installs to fail due to gpg error.
The second run of 'slackpkg upgrade-all' downloads and installs 48 packages even though gpg is no longer installed.

Code:
 $ sudo slackpkg upgrade-all
Password: 
gpg package not found!  Please disable GPG in /etc/slackpkg/slackpkg.conf or install
the gnupg package.
To disable GPG, edit slackpkg.conf and change the value of the CHECKGPG 
variable to off - you can see an example in the original slackpkg.conf.new
file distributed with slackpkg.

(These warnings were repeated two times)
The kernel packages upgrades failed.
How is it that packages were installed during the second run regardless of gpg errors; errors that were present even in the third run of slackpkg?

Same here. It also seems that gpg (package gnupg-1.4.23-x86_64-6) was deleted somewhere on the way:

Code:
2024-03-08 06:41:40 URL:https://linux.rz.rub.de/slackware/slackware64-current/GPG-KEY [1572/1572] -> "/tmp/slackpkg.E1YrcT/gpgkey" [1]
/usr/libexec/slackpkg/functions.d/slackpkgplus.sh: line 981: gpg: command not found
/usr/libexec/slackpkg/functions.d/slackpkgplus.sh: line 982: gpg: command not found

                   !!! F A T A L !!!
    Slackware repository does NOT contain the Official GPG-KEY
    You SHOULD disable GPG Strict check 'STRICTGPG=off'
    in /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf
On http://www.slackware.com/changelog/c...php?cpu=x86_64 you can also read:

Code:
...
ap/slackpkg-15.0.10-noarch-3.txz: Rebuilt.
       core-functions.sh: use gpg2, not gpg.
...
Could reinstalling gnupg-1.4.23-x86_64-6 be a (temporay) solution?

This sort of thing is to be expected in -current no?
Even though I can't answer your question about why it installed when it shouldn't have, maybe this helps sort things out:
Code:
removepkg gnupg gnupg2 slackpkg
installpkg gnupg2-2.4.5-x86_64-1.txz
installpkg slackpkg-15.0.10-noarch-3.txz

This sort of thing is to be expected in -current no?
Yes, my understanding is using current implies 'unstable with feedback'. This was intended to be feedback so it doesn't become a problem. This may also offer ideas to someone who identifies a similar condition.
If enough people find this condition then it may prompt a revision to the slacking script to catch the condition and either prevent the upgrades or at least notify the user of what can be done to remedy it.
My solution was to upgrade gnupg2 prior to any other upgrades and the running
Code:
sudo --refresh-keys
Thanks for the quick reply.
I agree that gnupg should be removed.
