What is the purpose of a GPG signature on a software package?

To verify the package's authenticity and integrity

To list the package dependencies

To compress the package for faster download

To encrypt the package contents

A security auditor requires that all packages installed on a RHEL 9 server be verified against their GPG signatures. The administrator has imported the vendor's GPG key. However, when running 'dnf install package.rpm', the installation fails with a GPG signature verification error. What is the most likely cause?

The GPG key is not trusted by the RPM database

The package was downloaded from a different repository

The repository metadata is outdated

A company has an internal apt repository for Ubuntu 22.04 packages. The repository is accessible at http://repo.internal.example.com/ubuntu. The administrator needs to configure a client system to use this repository in addition to the default ones. Which file should be modified?
