Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported dnf install https://prerelease.keybase.io/keybase_amd64.rpm command on Fedora 23 and capture the transaction output. Investigate the transaction-lock and key-import errors shown in the report, then confirm the package installs without those errors while preserving the reported successful installation behavior.
