Error while upgrading from 31 to 32

Ask Fedora
1

Hi guys! So, after a few days, I’ve decided to upgrade my Fedora 31 to 32. I’ve followed these instructions:

sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --allowerasing --releasever=32

But after downloading all the packages, the system returned this error bellow

warning: /var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade/fedora-558931b5e76b51a7/packages/dnf-4.2.19-1.fc32.noarch.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 12c944d0: NOKEY
Fedora 32 - x86_64 1.6 MB/s | 1.6 kB 00:00
The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing ‘dnf clean packages’.

At the moment I’m stuck. Any thoughts?

Maybe gpg is not installed.

Maybe use dnf with --nogpgcheck

Hello, pauld! You’re right, where are my manners? My name is Rafael Moco, this is my first topic in this forum, but I’m a long time Linux user! I work with VFX and Fedora is a great distro for this

And yes! I used --nogpgcheck and here I am, using Fedora 32. Thank you for your help!

And what about gpg? Dunno why I don’t have it installed. It’s a good idea to install it?

Thanks again!

I am pretty sure gpg is installed by default. It is a tool to sign (with a private key) things (originally emails), and verify (with a public key) that signed things are really from the person who have signed it and that it was not modified. It can also be used for old school encryption/decryption (using the same password [so called symmetric] for encrypting and decrypting). dnf use it to verify that packages are from a known “valid” source. The gpg keys are given by the fedora-gpg-keys package.

That said, it would be better if dnf would complain that gpg is not installed rather than giving the “gpg.errors.GPGMEError: GPGME: Invalid crypto engine” error. I think I will open a bug report about it.

Yeah, I did some research here and yes, gbg is installed, so I dunno why I had that error
