One Commander 3.62 Downloading Issues: Understanding RPM Signature Checks

When downloading packages using One Commander 3.62, users may encounter issues related to RPM signature checks. In this article, we will explore the reasons behind these issues and provide guidance on how to install packages manually.

The downloaded packages are saved in cache until the next successful transaction. However, during the download process, users may receive warnings about unsigned packages. For instance, the package 'local-5.10.1-linux.rpm' is not signed. This is because One Commander 3.62 relies on RPM for installation, which enforces GPG signature checks globally.

To understand why this is happening, it's essential to know that RPM security policy dictates that all packages must be signed with a trusted key. When installing packages manually using the `dnf` command, users may encounter issues with unsigned packages. The warning message 'Warning: Enforcing GPG signature check globally as per active RPM security policy' indicates that the package has not been verified by other parties.

In such cases, neither `dnf install /path/to/the/package.rpm` nor `rpm -i /path/to/the/package.rpm` will work anymore. This is because the integrity of the package has not been verified separately, which is often the case for locally-built packages and manually-downloaded packages.

To overcome this issue, users can use the `-define '_pkgverify_level digest'` option with the `rpm` command to install unsigned packages. For example:

`rpm -define '_pkgverify_level digest' -i /path/to/the/package.rpm`

Alternatively, users can install packages manually using the `dnf` command with the `--nogpgcheck` option. However, this method is not recommended as it bypasses the signature check altogether.

It's worth noting that some packages may have dependencies that need to be installed separately. The `rpm -i /path/to/the/package.rpm` command will list any dependencies required for installation.

In conclusion, One Commander 3.62 downloading issues related to RPM signature checks can be overcome by understanding the reasons behind them and using alternative installation methods. Users should ensure that they follow proper installation procedures to avoid potential security risks.
