Ok, so that's really a problem on my end. I've been having this issue
since I started trying to update it yesterday and still have now.
Tried 4 or 5 times during the day, same issue.
Same error while trying to refresh.

I'm surprised keyring.debian.org is automatically synced, but that's
good to know. It's on other (gnu, mit etc) keyservers so it'll get
