The error you’re seeing means the fingerprint of the imported key does not match the expected value, so the verification step is correctly failing.

Before continuing, it’s important not to ignore this, since it’s a security check.

A few things you can try:

Re-import the key from scratch Sometimes the key download can be incomplete or cached. Remove the existing key and import it again, then check the fingerprint manually:

gpg --fingerprint

Make sure it exactly matches: 35BAA0B33E9EB396F59CA838C0BA5CE6DC6315A3

Check that you are using the correct key file If the key source has changed or you copied commands from an outdated page, the fingerprint may differ. Avoid relying only on the script output The one-liner you used trims and compares automatically, but it’s better to visually confirm the fingerprint directly from GPG output. Verify system date and time An incorrect system clock can sometimes cause issues with key validation.

If the fingerprint still doesn’t match after re-importing from the official source, it’s safer to stop the installation and double-check the instructions or key source, rather than proceeding with an unverified key.
