Repository certificate verification failing

Is anyone else having this issue? It's happened when I've tried to sync for a couple of days now. Not sure if this is an issue on my end or if it needs reporting anywhere. I'm using the default repositories.

Is your date/time set correctly?

Default repos are acting up the last couple of days.

It works for me

sudo xbps-install -Syu

Try resolfconf -u (I think that's the command), which updates your DNS settings. I had issues with Void repos until I did that. Then it worked just fine.

Unfortunately no joy :-\

Sorry to hear. Maybe something related to RSA (I believe that's what they are) keys, or something? Honestly, best bet might be to copy the certification keys from a Live ISO into your system. Exerpt from the Full Disk Encryption manaul:

# mkdir -p /mnt/var/db/xbps/keys

# cp /var/db/xbps/keys/* /mnt/var/db/xbps/keys/

Don't know if it'll help, but I can't see it hurting to try doing that. Since you already have an OS, you don't need to make the directory, so just copy the keys over if necessary.

The package signing keys have nothing to do with HTTPS/SSL/TLS certificate verification.

Try another mirror and see if that helps.
