 AL2023 separates out minimal and complete functionality for the `gnupg2` package into `gnupg2-minimal` and `gnupg2-full` packages. By default, only the `gnupg2-minimal` package is installed. This provides the minimal functionality required to verify the digital signatures on `rpm` packages. 

 For more functionality from `gnupg2`, such as the ability to download keys from a key server, ensure that the `gnupg2-full` package is installed. Run the following command to swap `gnupg2-minimal` for `gnupg2-full`.

```
$ dnf swap gnupg2-minimal gnupg2-full
```
