YOU tells me I need to update BIND, but when I try to download the patch, I get the following error:

ERROR(You:RPM has invalid signature.)

I've tried rpm --rebuilddb, in the vague hope that it might do some good, but to no avail. There's nothing in /var/log/messages. I don't know where rpm might keep any logs.

Can anyone please advise on how I could sort this (i.e. get the patch installed)?

Many thanks

Opensuse 10.2 You don't say what version of OS. I installed the bind update about three hours ago. There were three parts to it.

Apologies Russ. I did actually post those details in a follow-up, but here are the details again:

SUSE 10.0 on AMD64 dual core

As to the bit that failed, I have to admit that I wasn't paying too much attention at the time, but it seemed to be the second part that failed. All subsequent attempts just bring up the error message straightaway. This is probably because the download's already happened?

Is there some way I can delete whatever's been downloaded and start again, or something?

Peter Looks like YaST --> Software Management (I typed bind) will allow you to deinstall them, but I'm not sure what all it would effect since I do not run a Domain Name Server on my system. It downloaded three packages when I updated and it looks like they are separate in YaST. -- Russ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sorry for replying to myself (again). If I do: peter@linux:~> locate bind-libs I get (amongst a lot of other stuff): /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/10.0/rpm/x86_64/bind-libs-9.3.2-56.1.x86_64.rpm and if I do: peter@linux:~> locate bind-utils I get (again, amongst lots of other stuff) /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/10.0/rpm/x86_64/bind-utils-9.3.2-56.1.x86_64.rpm Would these be the updates that YaST is trying to install, and if they are, would it be possible for me to install them manually using something like: rpm --nosignature ... ?? If there are any rpm experts out there, could they please tell me what they think the full command line ought to be - assuming the strategy is considered to be a good one. Or should I just delete them and try again?? Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Here's what I'd do (as superuser):

cd /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/10.0/rpm/x86_64/

rpm -Uhv bind-*-9.3.2-56.1.x86_64.rpm --test

watch for errors... if none, then repeat but drop the '--test'

when it's done: 'ldconfig' then 'SuSEconfig'

That should do it.

hth & regards,

Carl

Unfortunately not: linux:/var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/10.0/rpm/x86_64 # rpm -Uhv bind-*-9.3.2-56.1.x86_64.rpm --test error: bind-libs-9.3.2-56.1.x86_64.rpm: V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 9c800aca error: bind-libs-9.3.2-56.1.x86_64.rpm cannot be installed I'm going to try another suggestion which is to force a new download by deleting them. So I'll post again with the result. Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Force download of the rpm again. It's broken, the signature says so (not missing, but invalid). Ie, delete the rpm in "/var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/10.0/rpm/".

Bingo! Thanks Carlos. And thanks to everyone else whose helped. I'm sure that no-nothings like me must be a PITA sometimes, so thanks for your time and your patience.
