Fedora 25 (rawhide) disallows dnf upgrades due to certificate problems

[George R Goffe]

Hi,

I have been getting these messages about certificates for several weeks and have filed bug reports. Red Hat is unwilling or unable to give me a definitive resolution to the problem. Seemingly, my Fedora 25 (rawhide) system has started refusing to accept upgrades.

Any/all hints, tips, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

George...

It would be surprising if Red Hat gave a resolution to a problem with
Fedora.  :-)

A couple things:

1. From a recent thread, about F26, that might have bearing on your
problem,

"
This is a known issue the gpg key that is shipped in the
fedora-repos-25-3.noarch has an temporary key that was killed, work is
in progress to fix this, see
https://keys.fedoraproject.org/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x812A6B4B64DAB8...
curl the static key for this one and rpm --import it and try again.
"

2. F25 hasn't been rawhide for quite some time.  Perhaps you should
install the F25 release packages,

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=814876

and the F25 repos?

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=865227

Fedora rawhide is currently the future F27.
