Speaking for Chess and Mauro, you're welcome - glad you like it.

Have you tried manually checking the files? IOW, does the GPG check fail
only within sbopkg or altogether? Because, if it isn't a configuration
problem with gpg on your new system, I'm stumped - anything I think of
has an equal reason for why it couldn't be that. And, if it is in
sbopkg, could you send me a package list of what exactly you installed
and which ones failed? Is it still continuing to fail with additional
packages? And have you tried moving over the old repo and re-syncing?

Also, while it shouldn't matter, there's a new sbopkg 0.36.0 out - do
you still have problems running that version?
