AussieJohn Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I have. I usually go ahead and install because I have generally found that if there is anything really wrong witth the package then it won't install anyway. With it coming out of cooker it is usually because the package checksum has not been found or something like that. Also keep in mind that stuff in cooker is work in progress. A bit like a prototype really. Cheers. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcal Posted September 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I have....... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks John. Same for me, I just let it ride. I looked into Bugzilla and couldn't find anything. Just let it alone for now. Good to know someone else has seen the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 I just completed some cooker updates and the message was some packages have "bad signatures". It was not the case for all the packages so I guess it depends a lot on the maintainer of a particular package. The KDE ones were ok in that regard. It seems this is more of a concern if you are downloading stuff from a site you are not certain is a true site rather than a rogue site pretending to be the geniune site. Cheers. John.

polemicz Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Wilcal, usually when you get messages like that it means you have a bad burn, often because of burning at too high a speed. I never burn over 4x on my system as I become prone to these errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiver_Fluffi Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 All packages in main "should be stable" as it has been frozen to be used for 2006 final, contrib isn't, if anything is unstable, it will be in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcal Posted September 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Wilcal, usually when you get messages like that it means you have a bad burn..... I agree and I have become very sensitive to that. I have narrowed down my burning process to only use 2005 LE latest and greatest with updates using K3b and a verify pass. So far it's been perfect. I burn a lot of OS's to CD-R/W mostly in Live CD's. Latest have been the Ubuntu and Knoppix stuff. All are successfull. All burns are at 4x max. The OS's test system is as follows: Server Truman ---------------------- Intel, P4 530J 3.0 GHz, 800MHz FSB, 1MB L2, LGA 775 GigaByte GA-8I915G Pro" i915G Marvel Yukon 88E8001 Gigabit LAN Intel High Def Audio, Azalia (C-Media 9880) Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (on Intel 915) Kingston 1G(512MBx2) DDR400 PC-3200 Maxtor 80GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA (one partition 2005 LE) Maxtor 120GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA ( ten partitions, various OS's ) Maxtor 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA ( two partitions ) Ranish Partition Manager KingWin HD Rack/Tray subsystem Sony CD/DVD-RW DW-D26A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 The "bad signature" message error will not be caused by a bad download or a bad burn. Some other package install errors can be. Cheers. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
