Error: GPG check FAILED

Followed the manual install. Removed the old plex GPG key before.

I’m pretty sure the problem is the rpm included with Redhat 8 can’t handle the new signing key that Plex chose to use. The package should install if you turn off the signature check.

The same happens from the command line or from the plex repo.

When ignoreing the GPG key I get…

Error: Transaction test error:
package plexmediaserver-1.43.2.10687-563d026ea.x86_64 does not verify: Header DSA signature: BAD (package tag 267: invalid OpenPGP signature)

I’m not sure exactly what command you ran, but if you look at this thread

At least one Rocky 8 user got the newer plex package. It’s post 270. Here is what he did

curl -L https://repo.plex.tv/rpm/plexmediaserver-1.43.0.10492-121068a07.x86_64.rpm -o plexmediaserver-1.43.0.10492-121068a07.x86_64.rpm
systemctl stop plexmediaserver
rpm -Uvh --nosignature plexmediaserver-1.43.0.10492-121068a07.x86_64.rpm
systemctl start plexmediaserver
