Fresh 13.1 Install: Digest verification failed /

Robbo · February 24, 2014, 1:00am

I’ve run into the following issue repeatedly when doing fresh installs (both of 32bit and 64bit media) of OpenSuse 13.1:

Notifications shows: “A security trust relationship is not present”

Now, if I repoint #9 to a specific mirror (tried University of Waterloo), the problem goes away (no prompts to accept a particular signature) and the system updates without errors.

This has been a persistent issue over 4 installations and about 2 months.  It's a quick step after doing the initial install but it is very annoying.  Can anyone shed some light on this please?

Looks like a problem with the local mirror that the main site redirects you to. What is you general location?

Robbo · February 24, 2014, 2:11am

City: Mississauga, ON, Canada
ISP: Rogers Communications

lsof -i -P | grep zypper

zypper 398 root 9u IPv4 147320 0t0 TCP 10.0.2.15:36300->ftp.opensuse.org:80 (ESTABLISHED)

gogalthorp · February 24, 2014, 3:08am

Yes but that gets redirected to ideally a mirror site near you

Robbo · February 24, 2014, 3:25am

I thought that “lsof -i” shows actual IP connections… If the service request was re-directed to another host, I would have expected it to indicate that other host in lsof result (unless the requests were being proxied through ftp.opensuse.org). But, my experience with Linux and lsof specifically is not that detailed that I would argue that particular point.

Now, the “lsof” results aside, is there a way to find out what mirror I’m being redirected to and if that even is the issue?

I’ve been experiencing this for a month and a half now, and I would find it hard to believe that there is a mirror out there that can have a signature issue go by undetected for that long… I suspect this may be something in my environment (not necessarily my PC/VM environment but possibly the services such as DNS that participate in serving these requests) instead. I just don’t have a sufficient understanding of how this works to troubleshoot it.

Any other suggestions?

Fraser_Bell · February 24, 2014, 5:16am

You wouldn’t happen to be using Rogers’ Turbo Stick (or other Rogers mobility internet connection), would you?

They do a lot of interfering with ports and subnets in that system.

Please, please, do not copy the command only inside the CODE tags. Copy the output also. And preferably also the prompts before and after it. Now the whole output is borked!

Yes, in the yast/zypper logs. In “/var/log/YaST2/y2log” I think.

Yes, but it can happen.

Yes, it can happen. The more so when nobody signals this for a month and a half.

Robbo · February 27, 2014, 6:12am

No, it’s a Rogers cable modem connection.

Robbo · February 27, 2014, 6:16am

Thanks for the recommendation, maybe a bit strong to call it “borked”. Bear with me please, prior to creating an account here to get help from the community I’ve been using listservers or usenet to get technical help (or, to put it differently: it’s been a while and I’m not necessarily up to snuff on the current conventions).

Ok, this is my last attempt to get some help on this. There seems to be a broken mirror out there, I’m at a loss to determine from the logs which one it is which is where I ask for help. However, I know enough not to accept the signature from the broken mirror and reconfigure my system to point to one that’s good and am ready to move on to that step.

Thanks to everyone who provided direction on how to properly format input.

Well, those CODE tags are not easily be found by any new memebr here. We can not change that, but we try to explain it at the earliest ooprtunity when a new member posts his first computer text.

But you used the CODE tags, so I assumed that you know that they exist and what for. But the strange thing then was that you cut the computer text in two, the command and the output and then put CODE tags around the first and QUOTE tags around the second. And yes, those QUOTE tags (or no tags at all) bork the output. Not your fault, but that is how they work.

Robbo · March 3, 2014, 1:10am

Yes, I saw someone else use CODE tags and from there it wasn’t a big stretch to figuring out how to invoke them from within the editor. As far as I’m concerned, the resulting output from my improper use of tags was not so badly messed up that it couldn’t have been interpreted.

I must admit that I find it frustrating that I am given (well meant) advice on how to format information that I post here while the issue that I consider of much more significance - a repository out there that contains code that hasn’t been properly signed and thus should be considered a security threat, at least from what I understand about repositories - seems to get a lot less attention. Priorities?

As I said, I’m done and moving on…

No, it is simply that we can not read the log output unless it is inside
a code tag block, because it gets altered. See for yourself, instead of
the full url text in the log text, I see tinyurl links that are useless.

I’m not the best person for those instructions, as I access the forum
via nntp, not http.

There is still some problem with your pasting, because the urls inside
have been modified. I can’t verify them that way.

However, it seems that the system is going via a proxy and failing to
download anything at all. As I can not see the full URL I’m not sure,
but it appears to be trying to download the same file from several
mirrors, and failing on all.

But then I could be totally wrong, because I can not see the full line
of the log entries, they have been modified.

Apparently it is failing to write the file it downloads, on your local
disk, I guess.

I tried downloading the current file from that mirror, no problem (it is
a different file from yours, because they change it every time they add
a single package to the repo):

I then downloaded the same file from a different mirror
(widehat.opensuse.org), and compared both files, with ‘cmp’. They
matched exactly.

Maybe you have a permission error on your disk, or a disk error. You
could try to force an fsck on it. Or scan the messages log at the same
instant to see if there is another error reported.

Sorry, but IMHO you are missing an important point.

I, as a moderator, try to spread how to use the forums in the best possible way. Best possible so that others can understand it best, as well as logical (what to tell about the problem) as well as technical (how to post suporting computer evidence without it being distorted or unreadable). I do this independent of the fact if I do understanding anything of the problem itself in the hope that others, who might understand the subject, do not quit a problem as “problematic to understand” and go for another problem or for a beer or watching TV.

Thus my priority is getting “good” threads/post so that your priority, the chances getting good answers, is increased.

BTW, not withstanding the fact that I though that reading your first post might give problems to some, I never asked you to re-post your first post, but I tried to tell you how to do this (please, please) for at least future use.

Thanks

I may comment that the first time the log was posted, without a code
tags block, I certainly could not read anything there and abandoned (or
rather waited for a repost). I tried, though.

So what you have said is absolutely true
