Let me say I'm very happy with where I'm at. I can get work done and that's a good thing.

I did spend a little time with it this morning. I imported two keys thusly:

bshawadmin@NET3862:~/.cpan/CPAN$ sudo /bin/gpg --import /home/ad/bshaw
+admin/publickey01.key
gpg: key 450F89EC: "PAUSE Batch Signing Key 2022 <pause@pause.perl.org
+>" 8 new signatures
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:         new signatures: 8
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
bshawadmin@NET3862:~/.cpan/CPAN$ sudo /bin/gpg --import /home/ad/bshaw
+admin/publickey02.key
gpg: key A317C15D: "Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.a
+k.mind.de>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1

The keys are from https://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_04about#pubkeybat as suggested by pryrt. I also did rm -rf /root/.cpan/CPAN/* to force new downloads of things (thank you Ken). Lastly I pointed my urllist to https://www.cpan.org/. (I previously had urllist pointed to an internal CPAN mirror on our network suggested to me by our networking / admin staff.)

Despite those changes, I'm still seeing the "key not certified with a trusted signature" problem:

cpan> get Data::Dumper
Running get for module 'Data::Dumper'
WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
Primary key fingerprint: 2E66 557A B97C 19C7 91AF  8E20 328D A867 450F

And I agree the "could not open" error is problematic as well.

I'm more than happy to switch check_sigs back to 0 and declare victory. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm willing to tinker to see if I can get things working as we all know they could be.

Thanks again.

Cheers,

Brent

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
