Here is the output of rpm -q gpg-pubkey: gpg-pubkey-db42a60e-37ea5438 Like the previous user having problems with this issue, I am also connecting via a 56k line. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.18-26.8.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Launch up2date 2.Select the kernel to be updated 3.Begin download - usually occurs after 12 - 20% of the download is complete. Actual Results: As described above, the error message seen above happens after 12 - 20% of the download is complete. Expected Results: An updated kernel. Additional info:
There seems to be more than one Bugzilla filed with regarding RHN's recently acquired inability to download large files of, say, >2 MB. Allow me to add my confirmation of an evidently ongoing problem I'm having whenever I try to download large files from RHN. Running Red Hat Linux 8: I consistently began to experience download problems with larger files about 2-3 weeks ago. This problem is relatively new: prior to the degradation in service I successfully downloaded several hundred megabytes worth of downloads via RHN over a period of 12 hours that included both daytime and nighttime hours of operation. Like other submitters of this particular type of bug, download of large files via RHN "hang," followed by the message that the file's signature is invalid or has been corrupted. I am now unable to use RHN to reliably download larger files of, say, >= 2 MB. Smaller files have not yet been a problem. What I have observed, subjectively, is that downloadubg large files late at night seems to work better. It seems to me that subscriber demand is somehow breaking RHN during large-file downloads...(?) Note that I am immediately able to use the very same dial-up connection that fails with RHN to download 30+ MB files from other sites such as SUN. I tested this as a way of eliminating my dial-up connection and my R'Hat Linux 8 installation as culprits. Cheers & hope this helps, R. Bruce
