Hi Simon,
Thank you for your input.
I am not sure how to deal with ZEN. My installs are like this:
1. Install debian 11.x (Currently 11.5) bullseye on a machine directly or
as a KVM (QEMU) virtual machine in cases where Debian won't install
natively.
2. Prep Debian as per install instructions.
3. Install PacketFence
4. Configure PacketFence
5. Customise PacketFence
This means that I do it from the PF repositories within Debian
Unfortunately I have now come across a new issue.
A) The inverse.ca certificate, for their web site has expired. (Expires
On Wednesday, 12 October 2022 at 10:59:59)
B) I am unable to import their "www.inverse.ca/downloads/GPG_PUBLIC_KEY"
using the string
wget -q -O - https://inverse.ca/downloads/GPG_PUBLIC_KEY | sudo
apt-key add - (From the install instructions)
The key is there and I was able to import in on an install yesterday.
The error is: gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
C) I know Inverse is quite good to deal with, although sometimes certain
people are hard to get in touch with, but they are busy as so many of us
are.
The changes made going from PF 11.x to PF 12.x broke a couple of
things and I have not been able to reach anyone at Inverse for assistance
We pay for assistance if it is beyond the scope of "free" help and
that works well.
A helpful person on here asked why I could not install PF 11.2, when I
posted that this was not possible, so I tried and ran into the GPG import
issue.
Incidentally the import issue is present even when switching the
repository back to the 12.0 repository so I suspect
that the GPG_PUBLIC_KEY is no longer valid due to the expiry of the
certificate.
Thanks for your input
Tony
