Created attachment 1099812 [details] Image showing non-useful error message Description of problem: While performing a netinstall of F23, I encountered an error message that the mirror.fedora.com CA certificates had expired. This was, of course, false. The real problem was that after resetting the CMOS, I had not set the system date. The system thought it was 1/1/2006, and that somehow confused the expiration check... presumably because the current date is before the date the certificate was issued. Unfortunately I was not able to debug this on my own. I needed help from the folks on #fedora. If the error message had told me the current date and the valid date range of the certificate, the problem would have been obvious, and I could have solved it trivially. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set CMOS date to 1/1/2006 2. Try to netinstall F23. 3.
Moving to anaconda (installer) folks.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
