SSL negotiation failed on update

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Greetings,

I’ve just performed an upgrade from 11.0 to 11.1. When I now try to set up my update repository it goes through the process of downloading, refreshing the metadata and rebuilding the cache, but at the very end I get the message ‘SSL negotiation failed’. My only choices are to skip or go back.

Where to I identify which repository is failing?
Any advice is appreciated.

from a su terminal try this:

rpmdb --rebuilddb

then

zypper refresh

That did it. Thanks!

Happy to hear we could help. Well done.

I also seem to have the “SSL negotiation failed” problem when trying to set up an update repository in 11.1, unfortunately “rpmdb --rebuilddb” + “zypper refresh” doesn’t do the trick for me.

I can successfully rebuild the rpm database and refresh all repositories, but I STILL get “SSL negotiation failed”. Any hints on what to try next would be appreciated. :slight_smile:

Try deleting ALL repo’s and add them back.
But first. Delete all user files and folders in /tmp

Thanks for your suggestions - no luck though. :frowning:

I emptied /tmp completely and rebooted the machine, no luck. Same with deleting all repositories and adding them back once again. I’m still getting the “SSL negotiation failed”-error.

Is there anything I can do to track down the problem? Any kind of debug output/logging etc. that I can activate somehow?

This is issue is registered as Bug 460440 - online update configuration fails

As a workaround perform the following as root:

Run the following command in /etc/ssl/certs:

for c in *.pem; do ln -sf $c $(openssl x509 -hash -noout -in $c).0; done

doesnt work for me, same error

Thanks a lot, this did the trick! :slight_smile:
