BAD signature ?
Sorry to bother you but am I missing something or so ?
bash-3.1$ gpg --verify slackware-12.1-install-dvd.iso.asc slackware-12.1-install-dvd.iso.md5 gpg: Signature made Fri 02 May 2008 01:45:50 AM CEST using DSA key ID 40102233 gpg: BAD signature from "Slackware Linux Project <security@slackware.com>" bash-3.1$ ls -l total 3959054 drwxrwxrwx 2 aaaa users 296 2008-03-07 01:21 1 -rw-r--r-- 1 aaaa users 580306 2008-05-05 10:39 CHECKSUMS.md5 -rw-r--r-- 1 aaaa users 197 2008-05-05 10:39 CHECKSUMS.md5.asc -rw-r--r-- 1 aaaa users 197 2008-05-05 10:24 slackware-12.1-install-dvd.iso.asc -rw-r--r-- 1 aaaa users 4049520640 2008-05-04 13:40 slackware-12.1-install-dvd.iso.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 aaaa users 65 2008-05-05 10:24 slackware-12.1-install-dvd.iso.md5 bash-3.1$ |

Still sth wrong ....:-(..... : bash-3.1$ gpg --verify slackware-12.1-install-dvd.iso.asc gpg: no signed data gpg: can't hash datafile: file open error bash-3.1$ I've always used 2 arguments following the "gpg --verify" command : the *.asc fingerprint and the examined file. The content of my directory is: bash-3.1$ ls -l total 3959054 drwxrwxrwx 2 aaaa users 296 2008-03-07 01:21 1 -rw-r--r-- 1 aaaa users 580306 2008-05-05 10:39 CHECKSUMS.md5 -rw-r--r-- 1 aaaa users 197 2008-05-05 10:39 CHECKSUMS.md5.asc -rw-r--r-- 1 aaaa users 197 2008-05-05 10:24 slackware-12.1-install-dvd.iso.asc -rw-r--r-- 1 aaaa users 4049520640 2008-05-04 13:40 slackware-12.1-install-dvd.iso.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 aaaa users 65 2008-05-05 10:24 slackware-12.1-install-dvd.iso.md5 |
mv slackware-12.1-install-dvd.iso.iso slackware-12.1-install-dvd.iso
and try it again ;) |

Anyway you used: Code:
gpg --verify slackware-12.1-install-dvd.iso.asc slackware-12.1-install-dvd.iso.md5 See my answer in the post above; you should not have created *.iso.iso. If you rename the file as I posted with the mv command you can simply do gpg --verify slackware-12.1-install-dvd.iso.asc and all will be well. |
My fault.
Of course the slackware*iso.asc file corresponds to the slackware*.iso cd image, not the slackware*iso.md5 file ! As I've always been only verifying CHECKSUMS.md5 against CHECKSUMS.md5.asc I mistakenly thought that slackware*iso.asc is for checking slackware*iso.md5 file..:( Anyway thanks for the explanation; maybe the sunny spring time was involved in this little mess :) |
