There is a well-known issue with some GPG keys having expired end of 2019.
This can be fixed by upgrading to Emacs 26.3 or above or by manually adding
the new keys using something like:
```sh
gpg --homedir ~/.emacs.d/elpa/gnupg --receive-keys 066DAFCB81E42C40

If you are behind a firewall or similar and you get an error regarding package
