Factory-Oss repo issue when updating M4

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Trying to update/upgrade from Factory-Oss repo, using zypper refresh or Yast to first refresh the repo fails with the following message, even after replying “yes”:

Signature verification failed for file 'content' from repository 'Factory-Oss'.
Warning: This might be caused by a malicious change in the file!
Continuing might be risky. Continue anyway? [yes/no] (no):

The repo is definitely not refreshed. Tried re-enabling it, but no change. Apparently, deleting and re-configuring the repo doesn’t help either, and fails with checksum errors. Can still browse the repo with FF.

Haven’t found a workaround, except wait for it to be fixed. Any other ideas?

Hi,

We tried to fix upload of live cd and during that we possibly
killed the wrong process… :slight_smile:

Anyway, if you notice that factory repos are unsigned, this is
not a problem on your side and we’re looking into ways to hotfix it.

Greetings, Stephan

Seems to be going through my God another 1000+ packages…

Thanks for lightening response. When I looked at factory mailing list there was nothing. There was quite a gap between that and posting. Glad we have you around. :slight_smile:

That was a quick fix. I hope not a 1000, since I upgraded (partly) to M4 before weekend. :slight_smile:

Yes, it’s now working well. Only a 1051 packages to get through, and another 1+GB bites the dust.

Now, where is that thread solved button. Must be dreaming again. lol!

Damn! I missed it and it’s U/S again.
