I can't install 3rd part packages from GUI (NO Key Error)

Hello,
in the past I used to install rpms from GUI without any problem, but since two weeks ago I started to get this error:

I haven’t aboterted the install… so I’ve run zypper from terminal and I’ve found that the abort reason is the missing key:

Well, this is not a big problem, but I’d like to be able to install the packages from GUI again… Is there a way to fix this ?

Many thanks

No.

Known problem.

You have to use another GUI: ie, use YaST.

thank you for your reply robin_listas, so is this actually a bug ? I was thinking that this was a sort of “secure” feature

Yes, it is a bug. I don’t remember if it is in packagekit or apper.

You can configure your repo to not do a certificate check

zypper ar --no-gpgcheck *repo_URI  repo_name *

So, for example I just modified the instructions to Elasticsearch repos on my wiki
https://en.opensuse.org/User:Tsu2/elasticsearch_logstash_official_repos

The reason why the gpgcheck needs to be invalidated is because apparently the ES repos upgraded to the latest version YUM repos while zypper hasn’t upgraded to support the new repo format yet.

TSU

This happens only installing rpms downloaded from the net (not from repository).
Ok I’ll wait for a zypper update then.
Thank you :slight_smile:

Meaning that they don’t have a PGP/GPG key, or as in this case, that you
did not manually import the key used to sign the package, in advance,
into the rpm database.

No, zypper update will not solve that.

It is only a warning it should allow an install

Note Appr is more picky and won’t use Yast or zypper

Have a look at “man rpmkeys”, it says how to import the keys.

Wait a moment, you are right that they don’t have PGP/GPG key, but that shouldn’t be an “ABORTED BY USER” error…
I remember that I was able to install those rpms without problems in the past using apper.

Because THAT’S the bug in apper I was talking about… :slight_smile:

There is a problem with that and with solving dependencies, when the
user has to choose. Also there is another problem where the popup
message goes behind every window, and apper itself does not respond and
seems stuck.
