Looking at other products with SHA and ASC signatures, the following comments with respect to the openSUSE Leap SHA files can be made: 1. ASC signature files contain a block defined with: "-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----" "-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----" 2. The openSUSE SHA files contain a block beginning with: "-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----" which is not terminated by an "END". 3. Other SHA files contain only a single line: <key> <filename> ----------------------------------------------------------------- Editing the openSUSE SHA256 file to contain only a single <key> <filename> line resolves this issue.
