Since a couple days I am seeing “usigned repomd.xml” errors from two (third-party) repositories: one is for the GeoGebra software, the other for Beyond Compare.
The strange thing is that I have the correct GPG keys installed (I checked on their sites), and there have not been recent changes in their repos.
I ended up deleting GeoGebra and removing their repo, as I am not using that software anymore.
The situation is different For Beyond Compare: I use the software and I’d like to keep their repo installed as it is a nice way of keeping their software up to date.
I had similar errors in the past, when I experienced corruption of the RPM db. However this time the RPM db seems perfectly sane: I have run rpmdb --rebuilddb with no errors. I have also run rpmdb_verify against the “Packages” file in /var/rpm/lib with no errors.
This is the error I am getting:
polarisuse **cris ** **~ ** LANG=C sudo zypper ref 18

Note: Signing data enables the recipient to verify that no modifications occurred after the data

and in extreme cases even to a system compromise.
Note: File 'repomd.xml' is the repositories master index file. It ensures the integrity of the
whole repo.
