Dear Folks,
I have just installed TeXlive 2020 on Linux without any errors.
I tried
tlmgr --repository http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet
update --self --all
and have been repeatedly getting the following error:
---
/home/chandra/extra/texlive/2020/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr: signature
verification error of /tmp/oLo9xQRQc4/i6uD0HIwuL from
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb:
cryptographic signature verification of
/tmp/oLo9xQRQc4/yb95STBX3Q
against
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.sha512.asc
failed. Output was:
gpg: Signature made Thu 14 May 2020 20:04:16 IST
gpg: using RSA key 4CE1877E19438C70
gpg: BAD signature from "TeX Live Distribution <tex-live at tug.org>"
[ultimate]
Please try from a different mirror and/or wait a few minutes
and try again; usually this is because of transient updates.
If problems persist, feel free to report to texlive at tug.org.

I am reporting as advised as the problem has persisted.
I am also unable to compile files on TeXLive 2020 that could be compiled
without error on TeXLive 2019, and the errors are puzzling.
Before I post a question on TeX Stackexchange, I want to rule out a
flaky TeXLive 2020 installation.
Thank you.
Chandra
