Hello,

dnf install htop

Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'epel':
- Status code: 404 for http://ftp.arnes.si/mirrors/epel/9/Everything/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml.asc (IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'epel': GPG verification is enabled, but GPG signature is not available. This may be an error or the repository does not support GPG verification: Status code: 404 for http://ftp.arnes.si/mirrors/epel/9/Everything/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml.asc (IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

If i disable gpg-check work fine. But i wanna leave gpg-check enabled. Any solution for this?

Thanks for help.

Best regards,
Ciril

Problem is if persistent paramter in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
repo_gpgcheck=1

If i set that parameter to repo_gpgcheck=0 works fine.

Best regards,
Ciril

EPEL only offers signed packages, not signed repodata. Similar to the gpgcheck setting, the repo_gpgcheck setting should only be applied on a per-repo basis (for repos that have signed repodata), not globally in dnf.conf.
