Hi, We verified that the latest catalog.cab available at downloads.dell.com/catalog has a valid signature (Dual signatures) in place. Can you please let me know what is the other catalog you are referring to?

I have a script that checks (http://downloads.dell.com/catalog/catalog.cab) to see if the catalog has changed (based on the MD5sum), and if so, notifies me. The script kept telling me that the catalog had changed, but when I investigated I found that it was alternating between two catalogs. They both had the same Catalog.xml inside the CAB, but one CAB was Authenticode-signed, and the other was either NOT signed, or had an partial/bad signature. I didn't know to whom to report this issue... -----Original Message----- From: Linux-PowerEdge [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2018 9:40 AM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Linux-PowerEdge] dsu woes Dell - Internal Use - Confidential Catalog gets updated on 2nd and 4th Friday of every month. DSU repository gets updated once a month on 3rd Friday. We have been refreshing the content in the DSU repository more often the last 6-8 weeks due to the meltdown issues and as and when we get a new update. You will find some discrepancy as the catalog churns twice a month and DSU churns once. We are planning to see how can we sync up the DSU and the catalog releases, this will take time, be rest assured we are doing our best to keep these up to date.

Someone would gain serious kudos (and probably a pay rise) for creating a one-click "update web site and DSU (and whatever else)" publication system. This "well it's there, but it's not here, and there's an older version there, and it's there for Windows, but not for Linux" situation really doesn't look terribly professional. Or helpful for those of us with a varied server estate. If there are multiple teams/groups responsible for getting things to us, maybe there needs to be a steering committee or something which coordinates them all.
