Had to
rpm --erase --allmatches gpg-pubkey-d38b4796-570c8cd3
Then the dnf update prompted to install key and updated.
I don't know if this is precisely the same issue but you might be
running
into:
https://wmcdonald404.co.uk/2024/02/18/google-chrome-gpg-keys.html
I got the same error. However the recommended fix (run
/etc/cron.daily/google-chrome) didn't fix it. I'll see if it fixes
itself tomorrow (I don't usually use Chrome anyway).
poc
I had to do
dnf clean all
to get rid of the gpg-keys mess

Seems the solution varies for different machines?
For my Fedora 42 machine I got the message and found a key it
mentioned on a web page, and removed it, and update in stalled.
Tried on some others, and it came back with key doesn't exist, and
the search didn't show a google key at all??
Changed the gpgcheck=0 in the repo, and then it installed, and it
worked. Then changed back to =1, and did a reinstall to check.
Sometimes different combinations worked, but eventual got them
all updated
Currently getting these result.
On this notebook. Fedora 42
rpm -q gpg-pubkey --qf

On this notebook removed the different key, did a reinstalled, and it
talked about an expired key, and seems to install key, but check
shows the old one again. Perhaps 42 and 43 are different???

Doesn't work here. Also, 'dnf reinstall' fails, as well as 'dnf remove'
and subsequent 'install.
In my case
rpm -q gpg-pubkey --qf '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}\t%{SUMMARY}\n' | grep
'Google'
returned the key which
rpmkeys --delete
returned as non-existent.
dnf clean all
solved the problem.
Cheers

YMMV, but the following procedure did update google-chrome-stable (and
-unstable) here, although I don't understand it and am not sure it fully
completes the task.
1. Run dnf update as usual; it will fail with the signature verification
error we have seen. (All other updates in the batch also fail to
install, as we have seen--do NOT re-run dnf with the --exclude flag.)
2. Re-start your system. Do not do anything before doing so, in
particular do not 'dnf clean.' (This leaves the
downloaded-but-not-installed updates in the dnf cache.)
3. Anwser yes to the "install pending updates" pop-up. System starts to
reboot.
4. Previously downloaded updates in the dnf cache, including
google-chrome* install duing the reboot; I did not see any signature
verification messages during this process. System may reboot a second time.
I don't know, of course, what will happen with the next google-chrome
update.
