Title: 9.2 VMtools / key error
Post by: Knyte on November 13, 2018, 10:28:56 PM: As in my previous WordPress thread/post, I've recently installed an SME 9.2 instance in VMware ESXi 5.5 and have successfully restored from an 8.2 Workstation Backup.

However, when attempting to install the VM Tools as per https://wiki.contribs.org/VMware_Tools#SME_Server_9_Guest_on_ESXi_5.5, at the step to install the NON-PAE tools, the following error occurs after accepting the y prompt to install 23 packages:

warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 RSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 66fd4949: NOKEY
Retrieving key from http://packages.vmware.com/tools/keys/VMWARE-PACKAGING-GPG-DSA-KEY.pub

GPG key retrieval failed: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22 - "The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found"

Any ideas appreciated; with thanks.

Post by: ReetP on November 13, 2018, 11:45:25 PM: For whatever reason the URL is wrong.

Just try clicking it to open in a browser and you'll get a 404

So take the key off and see if you can view the directory

https://packages.vmware.com/tools/keys/index.html

Yup.....

New URL:

https://packages.vmware.com/tools/keys/VMWARE-PACKAGING-GPG-RSA-KEY.pub

Post by: Knyte on November 14, 2018, 12:08:06 AM: Thanks; completely missed that.

but now:

Downloading Packages:
warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 RSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 66fd4949: NOKEY
Retrieving key from https://packages.vmware.com/tools/keys/VMWARE-PACKAGING-GPG-RSA-KEY.pub

The GPG keys listed for the "VMWare Tools" repository are already installed but they are not correct for this package.
Check that the correct key URLs are configured for this repository.

Is there some way I can delete the imported key and start over?

You need Terry on his white charger to the rescue. He'll probably pop in later. Be patient.

Meh, I'm in no rush :) Thanks for the idea, though!!

...yeah, that's fair. Still haven't decided if ESXi 6 is next or, yes, maybe Proxmox. That's the thing, once it's all running - it just stays running. It's not often we have to change hypervisors.

Thanks for the help.
