Cannot install gpg key for rpm install on Rocky Linux 9

#1

Hi, I’m not sure whether this is the exact same issue as tracked there : https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/6669

The instructions given in https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/linux_repositories.html will not work for installing the GPG keu as SHA1 hash is no longer supported in Rocky Linux 9 (nor should it be if I’m not mistaken).
I get the following error:

sudo rpm -v --import https://download.sublimetext.com/sublimehq-rpm-pub.gpg

warning: Signature not supported. Hash algorithm SHA1 not available.
error: https://download.sublimetext.com/sublimehq-rpm-pub.gpg: key 1 import failed.

Does anyone know if this is a known problem, or how to install sublime-text on RL9 ?

The new version of rpm wants the packages to be properly signed. Rocky,fedora, and any rhel/fedora based repo can’t install. There has been multiple post regarding this problem.

All you can do now is wait until they rebuild the package not using sha1. In the meantime I have been using vscodium/nvim. I don’t know how long it will take to the this fixed. There is also a git issue on this subject. You could also bypass the check by using flags. If you are using a personal machine then do that, but if you are using a work computer, I don’t recommend doing that

Could you please cite the commands for Fedora/dnf to install bypassing key check and then to cancel bypass for further updates.

This to install?

sudo rpm -i --nodigest sublime-text-*.rpm

This has worked for me on Fedora. Written by feligato on ST bugtracker.

cd /var/cache/libdnf5/sublime-text-xxxx/packages/

sudo rpm -ivh --nodigest --nofiledigest sublime-text-4200-1.x86_64.rpm
