Unable to install 3rd party rpm with current Rawhide DNF
by Ian Laurie
In testing and playing with Rawhide 20221217.n.0 I found I was unable to
install the 3rd party program bcompare (Beyond Compare) for which I am
licensed.
With their repo installed "sudo dnf install bcompare" produces the error:
Error: GPG check FAILED
However, if I use "sudo dnf install bcompare --nogpgcheck" I get a
different error:
Error: Transaction test error:
package bcompare-4.4.4-27058.x86_64 does not verify: Header V4
DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 7f8840ce: BAD
Is this because DNF no longer will accept SHA1?
Interestingly, on another Rawhide VM with bcompare already installed and
working, "rpm -q bcompare" produces:
error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h# 3507
Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 7f8840ce: BAD
Header SHA256 digest: OK
Header SHA1 digest: OK
package bcompare is not installed
This output is clearly wrong, because bcompare is installed and working.
Is there a way to get around this problem and force the install?
