for some reasons, I can’t verify the signature of the files.

I downloaded tail-signing.key from https://tails.net/tails-signing.key

then made a keyring file.

ran gpgv --keyring ./tails.keyring tails-amd64-6.4.img.sig tails-amd64-6.4.img

it gave me error saying using EDDSA key 26D26… Can’t check signature: No public key.

I even tried using the same keyring for 6.3 and it was fine. Only for this version I;m having trouble.

Anyone would please confirm the SHA256SUM if you could verify the signature?

My steps which worked:

gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ~/tmp/trustedkeys.gpg --fingerprint
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ~/tmp/trustedkeys.gpg --import ~/tmp/tails-signing.key
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ~/tmp/trustedkeys.gpg --verify tails-amd64-6.4.img.sig

Checksums:

sha256sum tails-amd64-6.4.img tails-amd64-6.4.img.sig  ~/tmp/tails-signing.key
f8c36fad61a7f8c0fce45202369f85499a1c90f1bc7e5e5b320f2de1c3fa4e8d  tails-amd64-6.4.img

Some Linux distros you can right click the file and there is an option to auto verify the key is correct. Linux mint is one. Use a live USB.
