Describe the running environment

Running in a FIPS enabled EC2 instance

reboot

fips-mode-setup --check

FIPS mode is enabled. Initramfs fips module is enabled. The current crypto policy (FIPS) is based on the FIPS policy.

What happened?

Mountpoint fails to install when using the recommended installation approach

sudo yum install https://s3.amazonaws.com/mountpoint-s3-release/latest/x86_64/mount-s3.rpm -y

Relevant log output

...
Error: Transaction test error:
  package mount-s3-1.15.0-1.x86_64 does not verify: no digest

[muddyfish]

As a short-term workaround, you can disable FIPS mode and install Mountpoint before re-enabling it:

fips-mode-setup --disable
reboot

fips-mode-setup --check

sudo yum install https://s3.amazonaws.com/mountpoint-s3-release/latest/x86_64/mount-s3.rpm -y

fips-mode-setup --enable
reboot

fips-mode-setup --check

doesn't fully work in AML2023 (trying in version - Amazon Linux 2023.7.20250609)- need --nogpgcheck

Package mount-s3.rpm is not signed
Error: GPG check FAILED
sh-5.2$ sudo yum install https://s3.amazonaws.com/mountpoint-s3-release/latest/x86_64/mount-s3.rpm -y --nogpgcheck

Hey @ejoliet! The --nogpgcheck flag is currently required. The package uses a detached signature, so you can verify it separately using the following command:

gpg --verify mount-s3.rpm.asc mount-s3.rpm
