Signature verification failed error on openSUSE repository

I’m unable to refresh the openSUSE_Leap_15.1 repo of owncloud (http://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/openSUSE_Leap_15.1) with zypper.

zypper refresh results in this error:

Signature verification failed for file 'repomd.xml' from repository 'ownCloud Server Version stable (openSUSE_Leap_15.1)'.

Note: Signing data enables the recipient to verify that no modifications occurred after the data
were signed. Accepting data with no, wrong or unknown signature can lead to a corrupted system
and in extreme cases even to a system compromise.

Note: File 'repomd.xml' is the repositories master index file. It ensures the integrity of the
whole repo.

Warning: This file was modified after it has been signed. This may have been a malicious change,
so it might not be trustworthy anymore! You should not continue unless you know it's safe.

Is there a better place to report this issue? A contact for the repo maintainers?

Hey,

from what i know / have read in the past the ownCloud team is not frequently reading this forums and a contact is better done via GitHub · Where software is built. In your specific case i had found the following statement of a repository maintainer in the past, i think this is valid for the unsupported LEAP 15.1 repo as well:

Thanks, tom42. I’ll try there.
Not sure why you mentioned the repo is unsupported though. LEAP 15.1 is the current OpenSUSE version.

Also in this case the problem isn’t an expired key but a modification that was made after the release was signed.

Hey,

i think this was a mistake from my side. :confused: I thought that LEAP 15.1 isn’t supported or an outdated release because it isn’t listed on the owncloud.org repository page here:

https://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/production/owncloud/

(which gets linked from https://owncloud.org/download/#owncloud-server-linux-packages). But it seems this link is redirecting to:

https://attic.owncloud.org/download/repositories/production/owncloud/

including “attic” in the domain name. I’m not sure if the ownCloud team is phasing out the support of the repository.

Gotcha. Doesn’t help that 42.3 > 15.1 but it is in fact older, thanks to the versioning change on openSUSE’s part.

I’ve posted the issue on github; we’ll see if it receive any attention there.
