Package ncpa-2.4.1.el8.x86_64.rpm is not signed

Post by deby23456 »

Hello.

I'm trying to update ncpa on one of our Red Hat 8 servers (using yum) that is being monitored and getting the following error:

Package ncpa-2.4.1.el8.x86_64.rpm is not signed
The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing 'yum clean packages'.
Error: GPG check FAILED



Do I have to wait for a corrected, signed version of ncpa? Otherwise, is there a way to get past the error and complete the update?rsion of ncpa? Otherwise, is there a way to get past the error and complete the update?


Looks like it just got updated to 2.4.1. Maybe try reinstalling again? Otherwise I'd wait a couple days and try again.


ADDITIONAL INFO:

Now getting the same error on our Nagios production server running on CentOS 7:

Package ncpa-2.4.1.el7.x86_64.rpm is not signed

As suggested, I'll try again in a few days. Since I have Nagios monitoring for yum updates, I may have to temporarily EXCLUDE ncpa in yum.conf.

On our Nagios DR server running CentOS 7, I tried removing ncpa-2.4.0 and then installing ncpa-2.4.1 but had the same error. I restored the original version with 'yum history undo ##'.


We were getting this as well, from yum-cron. However, when we ran the yum update manually, it offered the suggestion to run this command:
yum --enablerepo=nagios-base clean metadata



Once we ran that, the update worked


Today I was able to install the update. However.....

Yesterday, there was something in the error message that suggested I disable FIPS and try again. I did that, it didn't work, and I re-enabled FIPS. So even though I restarted ncpa_listener, when I check the status, I get 'active (exited)'. Here is the full status message:

If I run:

Code: Select all
/usr/local/ncpa/ncpa_listener --start



I get this:

How do I fix this?


please close this top -- I'm have the server restored from backup before the incident occurred/

Refer to my post titled "NagiosXI NCPA deployment failing - FIXED" for root cause of this issue.
