Auto Update problem

English Applications
#1

I responded to an “Update Available” icon and my machine acted like it was updating Zypper.
Then this message came up:

Refresh failed: . Error: verification of ‘content’ with key ‘[A84EDAE89C800ACA-481f343a] [SuSE Package Signing Key ] [79C179B2E1C820C1890F9994A84EDAE89C800ACA]’ failed Error: Could not refresh repository ‘openSUSE-11.0-Non-Oss’: Valid metadata not found at specified URL(s) History: - Signature verification failed for content.

What is the problem?
What needs to be done to fix it?

I got the same error this morning after attempting update. If you find a fix
please post. My opensuse updater disappeared from the task bar. By
rebooting I got it again but still get the error. Looks like they updated
the repository and forgot to update metadata. when I went into YaST and did
a refresh it worked fine, no error on key.

I has strange texts when in the window that appears you click on the red triangle, did not trust it and thus did not click install.

Instead I used YaST > Software > Online Update. That worked, it installed the zypper update, restarted itself and did other updates and my applet is OK now.

This problem appears to have been fixed by openSUSE.

The icon in question was a yellow triangle, BTW.
Not the usual red triangle indicating a security update.

I did a right click on the icon today, and forced a Check Now.
That produced three updates, which I downloaded.
One was a kernel update, which required a reboot (rare).

Thanks for your respondings.

Have you checked your repositories?
I had this problem and found a problem with a repository, deleted it, added it back in and then refreshed - problem solved
