Description

I am trying to install VirtualBox 6.0.12 on CentOS 8

I used the file

https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/el/virtualbox.repo

and ran the command

dnf -y install VirtualBox-6.0

this throws the error below.

the file is available at https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.0.12/VirtualBox-6.0-6.0.12_133076_el8-2.x86_64.rpm

[centos@c8-bridge ~]$ sha256sum VirtualBox-6.0-6.0.12_133076_el8-2.x86_64.rpm 7eddd32a3f4f0f7f63ae4452e5a404aff07e0445667d17b260fbec443bad27fd VirtualBox-6.0-6.0.12_133076_el8-2.x86_64.rpm

which correspond to https://www.virtualbox.org/download/hashes/6.0.12/SHA256SUMS

Turns out to be caused by a human error when we needed to replace the package (first one was not usable due to packaging errors). The rpm file on the server ended up being the unsigned one, whereas the repository contained the metadata for the signed package.

Please retry, should be fixed (the proper file was already in place when tru_tru downloaded it, his sha256sum he gave is for the signed file).

Working fine now.

Thank you very much.
