[SOLVED] .sig repo while synchronizing database

Hi,

While sync'ing the package database I'm getting the output below.  Out of my three arch systems only one is getting the *.sig line.  Sometimes it's multiple *.sig lines per repo.  Can anyone explain what that is and if it's a problem?  Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] .sig repo while synchronizing database

My guess is that you are using a mirror that signs the databaseseven though we (Arch Linux) don't do that yet.

Thanks Snowman.  I'm guessing this isn't a bad thing, right?

But how a certain mirror could sign a database? I mean they need a key that is signed by at least 3 Arch master keys to be trusted by default. So who signs on that mirror? That"s very odd.

Edit:
Please post your mirrorlist

Re: [SOLVED] .sig repo while synchronizing database

Can you check which mirror you actually download from (I assume the first)? I checked the first 5 but found no database signatures.

Re: [SOLVED] .sig repo while synchronizing database

How do I check for that?  Is there a way to get more output from pacman showing the mirror it's connecting to?

Also when I just ran pacman -Syy I got the output below.  It's like the sync'ing gets cut off.  I reran the sync again right after and it showed only a single *.sig per repo.

Re: [SOLVED] .sig repo while synchronizing database

http://archlinux.supsec.org/extra/os/x8 … tra.db.sig hits a 302 redirect rather than just throwing a 404, which is pretty dumb. I'd suggest switching mirrors (and maybe filing a bug against the mirror).

My guess is that you are using a mirror that signs the databaseseven though we (Arch Linux) don't do that yet.

But how a certain mirror could sign a database? I mean they need a key that is signed by at least 3 Arch master keys to be trusted by default. So who signs on that mirror? That"s very odd.

Edit:
Please post your mirrorlist

It's the mirror admin who signs with his own personal key. Only the packages are signed by the Arch dev/TU keys.

Is every mirror admin's key will be part of the arch keyring package? And where they gonna store their key? On the server to sign the db automatically? That's not secure. But giving the average rate of updates per day (manual signing is impossible), I don't see how that would work.

Re: [SOLVED] .sig repo while synchronizing database

Mirror admins don't sign the db files. That server is just misconfigured as falconindy pointed out. A bug report should be filed about this mirror.

Re: [SOLVED] .sig repo while synchronizing database

Thanks Pierre, I was pretty sure this is the case. Snowman seems a little misinformed.

Re: [SOLVED] .sig repo while synchronizing database

Thank you all for the assistance.  I removed the offending mirror and the *.sig lines are no longer showing up when running the refresh command.  Out of curiosity, why did pacman display the *.sig lines when it had a bad mirror?  What is the significance of them?  Just curious if I ever again encounter them.

Regarding the bug report.  I never filled one out and I'd love to do it.  I checked out the "Reporting Bug Guildelines" and it states that "If Arch Linux is not responsible for a bug, it should be reported upstream rather than the Arch Linux Bugtracker." under the Search for duplicates section.  Does this apply here or is this an Arch bug?

Re: [SOLVED] .sig repo while synchronizing database

no, in this case we would delegate the issue.

The internal downloader will always check for a sig file on the mirror with the default SigLevel settings (DatabaseOptional). Since it's optional, it's not reported as an error if it doesn't exist. In all cases, fetching the .sig file for any repo on an official mirror should simply return a 404 and you never know about it. In this case, the mirror replies with a 302 redirect, which pacman follows to a 200 response. The mirror is doing the wrong thing, so pacman appears to behave strangely.

Thanks, falconindy.

Pierre, the bug report has been submitted.  If I didn't do it correctly please let me know.
