Upgrade to 18.1 failed (Bad signature)

[marigo]

Hi all,

I want to upgrade to 18.1 but everytime I get this error message:

***GOT REQUEST TO UPGRADE: maj***
Fetching packages-18.1-OpenSSL-amd64.tar: .................................opnsense-verify: error:04091068:rsa routines:INT_RSA_VERIFY:bad signature
Signature is not valid
 failed
***DONE***

What can I do about it?

Have you tried a different mirror?

[marigo]

No, I didn't.

Where do I change this and what choices do I have?

From the web interface: System: Firmware: Settings

You could also try executing these commands from the console:

[removed]

... then reboot.

Please backup your settings first

[phoenix]

To specify a particular mirror go to System/Firmware/Updates and on the Settings tab you can choose another mirror, when you've selected one hit Save then try the update again.

[elektroinside]

If this doesn't work, you could try temporarily switching to the development version by running:

# opnsense-update -t opnsense-devel

If successful, from the GUI, switch back to production for a more stable version

[marigo]

That did the trick. Thanks a lot! 

Switched to ieji.de and the upgrade is now in progress.

Super, Thx again for support!

User was attempting a major upgrade from 17.7 and this will "fake" an update to 18.1 and skip the base and kernel *if* the fingerprints are installed (like 17.7.12_1).

Please don't do this. pkg will probably break.


Cheers,

Sorry Franco, removed my comment.

Blanked quote too. Better safe then sorry. Thanks!

For the OP: probably the wrong mirror. Would be good to know which, one in the past did not return the signatures in a raw format so the verification failed.


Cheers,
Franco
