"Internal Error: gcrypt library error 60 illegal tag." when scripting

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1333 bytes --]

when running the following script below - I always get the error indicated
in the subject line.  If I click another site from the UI then after it
works fine.  If I change the script to reflect that selected site from the
UI and re-run, I get the same error mentioned.  Any ideas?

Yeah, this error should probably be reported in a clearer fashion.

I think what this error is telling you is that 
'http://cygwinports.org/ports.gpg' is not a valid gpg key.

This is correct.  If you open that with your browser, you'll see why.

The cygwinports package repo was shut down some time ago (2017 I think).

The solution is to remove that key from your setup invocation.

Thanks, Jon - I've removed the parameter for '
http://cygwinports.org/ports.gpg' and I'm not entirely sure why I had it
there in the first place.

However, on removing the parameter, I now get the error for every
referenced site in the script "Unable to get setup from <https://.../>" for
every site referenced in the script except hoobly.com and constant.com -
removing those sites from the script allows the script to run properly even
though they are listed in "Choose A Download Site" picker and when adding
them there, they have no issue - any idea why those sites would have issues
in the script but not when selecting from the picker?
