Trying to install Opensearch 2.15 and I’m getting the below error… ```auto yum install opensearch OpenSearch 2.x 1.6 kB/s | 498 B 00:00 OpenSearch 2.x 53 kB/s | 4.2 kB 00:00 OpenSearch 2.x 2.9 kB/s | 498 B 00:00 Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'opensearch-2.x': repomd.xml GPG signature verification error: Bad GPG signature ``` I’m running AlmaLinux 8.10 and did have Opensearch installed on here before, but it was an older version… 2.8 I think it was. Initially, I was trying to just update OS to 2.15 but I was getting that same error and ended up yum removing it, thinking I could just start over. Once removed, I followed the instructions here: > **[RPM](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/install-and-configure/install-opensearch/rpm/#install-opensearch-from-a-yum-repository)** > > Documentation for OpenSearch, the Apache 2.0 search, analytics, and visualization suite with advanced security, alerting, SQL support, automated index management, deep performance analysis, and more. but am getting that error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ---

Hi @cawFEHman, I have installed it in my lab with no issues following the instructions above with Alma 8.10 and OpenSearch 2.15: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/mauve_hedgehog/original/2X/8/802bb35e438998637a5a7f2f5e57c0b310c69925.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/mauve_hedgehog/original/2X/1/18ac8f670748e0334167a2ba5c1a83155ef2b628.png) Could you share the output of: ```auto ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d/ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/opensearch-2.x.repo ``` Best, mj ---

thank you for the time… here’s the outputs… ```auto ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d/ total 40 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 943 May 22 10:49 almalinux-ha.repo -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 905 May 22 10:49 almalinux-nfv.repo -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 885 May 22 10:49 almalinux-plus.repo -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 963 May 22 10:49 almalinux-powertools.repo -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2666 May 22 10:49 almalinux.repo -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1041 May 22 10:49 almalinux-resilientstorage.repo -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 871 May 22 10:49 almalinux-rt.repo -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 928 May 22 10:49 almalinux-saphana.repo -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 873 May 22 10:49 almalinux-sap.repo -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 242 Jun 27 09:36 opensearch-2.x.repo cat /etc/yum.repos.d/opensearch-2.x.repo [opensearch-2.x] name=OpenSearch 2.x baseurl=https://artifacts.opensearch.org/releases/bundle/opensearch/2.x/yum enabled=1 repo_gpgcheck=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://artifacts.opensearch.org/publickeys/opensearch.pgp autorefresh=1 type=rpm-md ``` ---

Fixed it… found this article on RedHat… (sign in required) > **[Failed to download metadata for repo 'rhel-8-for-x86\_64-baseos-rpms' - Red...](https://access.redhat.com/discussions/4656371?tour=8)** > > Access Red Hat’s knowledge, guidance, and support through your subscription. One of the responses said to run `sudo dnf clean all` `sudo rm -r /var/cache/dnf` `sudo dnf upgrade` Ran those and when I ran the last command it asked to accept the new GPG key… and VOILA! am able to install. Thanks for your help ---
