Can't install in Fedora 41, "checksum doesn't match"

Open jjesus-dev opened this issue 1 month ago • 6 comments

  • System: Fedora 41 (Cinnamon)
  • Error message:
>>> Downloading successful, but checksum doesn't match. Calculated: e746e20ca936

I followed the instructions from the official site, but can't install MiKTeX. I also tried with sudo dnf clean all before repeating the installation steps without success.

Please attach cat /var/log/dnf.librepo.log | grep miktex | tail -10

Please attach cat /var/log/dnf.librepo.log | grep miktex | tail -10

Sorry for the late response, but there is no output from that command. I opened the dnf.librepo.log file in a text editor to search miktex manually and find nothing, the last message logged in it is from months ago even.

I tried to install MikTex again and it shows the same message about the checksum with this line at the end:

Error librepo: Cannot download miktex-25.4-1.fc41.x86_64.rpm: All mirrors were tried

I'm having the same issue for Fedora 43.

We definitely need a way to figure out which mirror you connect to. librepo logs should paint the picture.

After then, it will be pretty easy to figure out if this is a mirror issue or something else.

Got the same problem on Fedora 43.
