Installation in Fedora 43 not possible

#1

I was using Fedora 42 on my main computer. I was using Sublime-Text without issues. Now I upgraded to Fedora 43 which is actually in Beta- / RC-status. After upgrading, I’m still able to use Sublime-Text.

Also, I installed Fedora 43 on my laptop. It was a new installation. Here, I’m not able to install Sublime-Text. I used the documentation on https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/linux_repositories.html#dnf. I added the GPG key and the repository. When trying to install, the following error appeared:

$ sudo dnf install sublime-text

How am I able to install Sublime-Text in Fedora 43? Is there something that must be done from your side?

Just downloaded the RPM package from the Downloads page and tried to install it via Konsole.

The same error appears …

Could it be that the package must be updated to work with the new Fedora 43 release? Or is that an issue on Fedoras end so that there must be a fix in Fedora?

The issue is with our signing key, which is something I’m looking working on sorting out. Though I’m surprised directly installing the package doesn’t work, at least on debian those don’t even need to be signed. Perhaps there’s a parameter for skipping the signing check.

There seem to be the global option --no-gpgchecks for DNF. I tried, but still got the error no matter if I try to install from your repo or the downloaded RPM file.

$ sudo dnf install sublime-text --no-gpgchecks

Just asked on Fedora Discussion if there is a way to skip checking the signing key when trying to install. Maybe there is a way, I actually don’t know …

Looks like there was a change now in RPM 6.0.

The most noticeable change is that RPM now refuses to install packages whose signature hasn’t been positively verified, whether due to being unsigned, missing key or otherwise. This can be worked around by supplying --nosignature on the command line, or more permanently, changing the %_pkgverify_level macro to the former default of digest , but these should be only temporary measures, users are encouraged to import necessary keys and/or setup automatic signing for their (local) builds instead.

Does it help in any way, @bschaaf?

I got Sublime-Text installed via terminal.

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

But, I don’t know if I got updates via added repository from Sublime. Or do I have to check and install updates manually, now? :thinking:
