Emacs 28 is no longer working well.

[Erica]

I'm not sure where to report this. 

I think this is a common problem across distros for arm. I had this same problem with manjaro arm a month ago. 

 

On a fresh install of armbian. 24.3 cli. 

 

Emacs 28.x is available.  It is missing a lot of elpa packages because of out of date gpg keys.  It cannot find elpa.gnu packages. 

 

It is, for me, completely unable to load and use my emacs configuration.  

 

Package-initialize and package-refresh-contents do not fix it.

 

I built the current emacs from source, it's version 29.3 and that works much better.
