bad signatures [solved]

[darek]

Hi, yesterday I downloaded some updates for mandriva 2007 (bugfixes). After checking splashboot there were a couple of dependencies which I clicked o'key and then everything started installing. But there was a question if I want to proceed because one of the packages had bad signature (one of the libraries, gtd or something like this). I did a quick check and there were mixed messages some people say it is o'key to install some say it is better to wait. I installed it anyway. What is your opinion guys

thanx

I had them before with 2006 and installed them, all seemed to work OK. However later, they fixed it all, and I never had problems with updates after that for clean installs I'd made.

 

Depends where you're downloading the packages from and whether it's a trusted site, etc. Then I'd be wary.

I checked a few official Mnadriva mirrors in different countries all had the same bad signature, so I guess it is o'key thank you

I've randomly encountered bad signatures/bad md5 checksums for downloaded packages, too. Most times cleaning the urpmi cache helped (Example: "urpmi --clean --auto-update").
