Problem
Symptoms
The following error occurs when trying to install DSE or using yum on RedHat
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'datastax': repomd.xml GPG signature verification error: Bad GPG signature
For Debian/Ubuntu, please refer to the following article: https://support.datastax.com/s/article/Error-on-DataStax-repository-when-running-apt-update
Applies to
- DataStax Enterprise rpm repository
- RedHat Enterprise, CentOS, Oracle Linux
Cause
The key for the DataStax rpm repository expired on 2024-05-10
Solution
If the system is affected, remove the old key and download the new one:
- List existing keys
rpm -qa gpg-pubkey* - Validate DataStax key
rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-10782bd9-609ad0ad - Delete the key
rpm -e gpg-pubkey-10782bd9-609ad0ad - Import the new key
a. If the gpg key is available gpgkey=https://rpm.datastax.com/rpm/repo_key in the Datastax .repo file under /etc/yum.repos.d/, no further action is required.
b. Otherwise, proceed as follow:
curl -O https://rpm.datastax.com/rpm/repo_key # download key
rpm --import repo_key # import key
The repo_key can be removed afterward.
