I can reproduce this on an 18.04 LTS.  emacs -Q:

Failed to verify signature archive-contents.sig:
No public key for 066DAFCB81E42C40 created at 2020-08-02T09:05:02+0000 using RS\
A
Command output:
gpg: Signature made Sun Aug  2 09:05:02 2020 UTC
gpg:                using RSA key C433554766D3DDC64221BFAA066DAFCB81E42C40
gpg: Can't check signature: No public key

But I vaguely recall that there was something about an expiring key that
made things not work?  In that case, there isn't much to be done here.

Does anybody remember?
