Description Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2001-05-10 15:29:15 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686; en-US; rv:0.9)
Gecko/20010507

Description of problem:
It would be really nice if the installer could verify RPM files before
installing them and issue an error if the verification fails

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. give the installer one or more RPMs that are broken (GPG or MD5 NOT OK)
2. install
3. installer accepts the file
	

Actual Results:  Potential to install broken RPMs

Expected Results:  A dialog along these lines, an option for kickstart and
an entry in the install.log

[start]
The package <name> failed verification.
What do you want to do?
'Skip the package', 'Try again', 'Install anyway'
[end]

Comment 2 Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2001-08-27 16:32:18 UTC

While I agree with your comment in bug 40045 that giving the user any options is
problematic, I would still like to see the addition of a 'rpm --checksig' for
each package prior to installation of the package so that we do not install
broken packages. Even if this means bailing out of anaconda on failure.
