[SOLVED] google-chrome-stable update bad signature

[banjo]

I have a new installation of Mageia 3. It is working out very well for me. Love the distro.

In order to get youtube videos working I installed google-chrome-stable. I have recently received a notice of an update, but when I attempt to install it I get a warning that the update has a bad signature and asks if I want to install anyway. When I say "No" it keeps coming back. Here is the error:

The following package has a bad signature

google-chrome-stable-28.0.1500.95-213514.i386.rpm:Medium without key(OK(DSA/SHA1,
Wed 24 Jul 2013 08:14:57 PM EDT, Key ID a040830f7fac5991))

Do you want to continue installation?

So what is the proper action in this case, Yes or No? Is it normal for Google Chrome to send updates with a bad signature, or is this an invasion of some unsafe software?

If I do not want the update, how do I get it to go away?

I have subsequently installed the flash plugin so both Firefox and chromium-browser will play the videos. So it isn't a show-stopper if I have to ding the Chrome browser entirely.

Thanks for the support and the great distro.

For what it's worth Google Chrome is propitiatory software and any problems with it should be directed to Google.
Mageia do nothing about it.

You see that message because you have not made the Google key available to urpmi. Set up the Google repo and import the key. See:
viewtopic.php?f=36&t=2053

If you still see the message after doing this, you will need to add the key manually to /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg. You can do this in MCC - Software Management - Configure Media.... Options - Manage Keys.

I understand that Chrome is not from a Mageia repository, which is why I am a bit suspicious of the update. And I am certainly not complaining about Mageia. Just looking for some more information on how this works.

I thought that I had imported the key as per the thread "[MAQeia] Google Chrome / Chromium web browsers", but maybe I messed that up. Next time I am on the Linux box I will check it out again. I didn't know there was a manual workaround.

Thanks for the pointers.

It is fixed. I went back and confirmed that I had imported the key with:

Code: Select all

$ rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-7fac5991-*

The output looked fine. The update still failed, so I went into MCC as suggested and entered the key from there:

MCC => Manage Software => Configure Media => Options => Configure Keys

I clicked on the Add button and the google chrome key showed up in a menu.

Selected it.

Click OK

The update works.

Thanks so much for the help. I would not have been able to figure that out by myself.

i've imported the key now but in the past i've just told the installer to install the .rpm anyway and it's always worked.
