Update fails - Virtualbox changed things

Post by lightman47 » 2023/05/17 23:01:30

RHEL8/9
Weekly updates of all my machines suddenly began failing - complaining of virtualbox GPG key failures. (All my machines have virtualbox installed by default). It took some (albeit minor) sleuthing to discover that virtualbox had changed locations/names of things, rendering the old repo file useless.

Changing my /etc/yum.repos.d/virtualbox.repo to this solved it (until they change things again):

Code: Select all

[virtualbox]
name=Oracle Linux / RHEL / CentOS-$releasever / $basearch - VirtualBox
baseurl=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/el/$releasever/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc
