Upgrade Failed, signature invalid

[The-QA-Geek]

I attempted to upgrade (through the GUI) from 25.7 to 26.1 just a couple of days after the January release, but got "failed, signature invalid". I immediately tried again and got the same failure, so I waited a couple of weeks and tried again today. Same failure - signature invalid. So I tried again today, and this time it upgraded.

I searched and couldn't find any reports of this on the forum, and I have never seen it before until this upgrade - is this as rare as I think it is? Any suggestions as to the cause?

Could be an intermittent mirror issue (not the main mirror?) where we switch the packages set for better upgrade experience, but it also writes the signature file so the large packages set and signature file could be out of sync for the sync duration.

I'm still experiencing the same error.

Try this in a terminal

Code Select Expand

opnsense-revert opnsense
Then try to update again.


Post here the full output

For most people this keeps happening on LTE connections. Can't fix that easily as it's some weird thing inside libfetch that triggers this.

For me the same. No LTE connection but standard DSL connection. signature invalid

Problem solved - mirror probably has incomplete files. Changing mirror to "default" solved the problem. All files were downloaded witout problems.
