[sbopkg-users] GPG Check Failure

First of all, thanks for creating and maintaining sbopkg.  Although it's
easy to find and install software found on Slackbuilds.org, this makes
it even easier.

I started using sbopkg on a laptop with the 32-bit version of Slackware
13.37.  It works fine there.  I wanted to use it on a new installation
of 64-bit Slackware 13.37 on a desktop PC, and I do not have the 32-bit
libraries installed.  Instead of just copying over the 32-bit packages
and installing them, I copied over /var/cache/sbopkg and /var/lib/sbopkg
after installing the sbopkg 0.35.0 (if memory serves; the latest from
2011, anyway) package on the new PC.  I created one tar.gz file of
/var/log/packages, since it was about 115MB, so I actually "untarred" it
on the new installation.  When I try to compile packages I've put in the
sbopkg queue on the new PC, though, I get an error of "GPG Check
Failed!" and several options to do what I thought was quit.  It appears,
however, that selecting "Yes" to keep the files lets the compilation
continue to a successful completion, although I have yet to actually run
any of the programs I've compiled.

Does anyone know why the GPG check fails?  It does not fail on the
laptop with the original installation of sbopkg, and which I synchronize
with on-line repositories.
