How can I get rid of these dnf related errors/messages?

Fedora version : 34

I want to remove vivaldi browser software which I installed sometime back. So, I was just searching for the vivaldi package using dnf search command as shown in the log below

When I run the below dnf search command I get the following errors/messages related to other softwares like

  1. Atom editor package
  2. Etcher package
  3. VirtualBox

So, I have 2 basic questions

Question 1.
When I am checking if vivaldi package is installed in my server using dnf search vivaldi command why I am being prompted to import GPG keys other softwares like Atom editor, VirtualBox, as shown below ?

Question2. How can I get rid of these errors/messages ?

When you add a repository and download its metadata for the first time, dnf will ask to import its gpg key if repo_gpgcheck=1 is set for that repository. Error messages for etcher are caused by the etcher repo itself, you can disable it or ask them to fix their repo (it might be a temporary problem about their infrastructure, so you can just ignore that for a while). To disable it:

sudo dnf config-manager --disable etcher-rpm

To enable it later if you want:

sudo dnf config-manager --enable etcher-rpm
