I installed MariaDB on a computer with CentOS using the instructions given here:
MariaDB Package Repository Setup and Usage – MariaDB Knowledge Base
The basic command I used was:
sudo yum install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client
and I did not install Maxscale or percona.
MariaDB installation has compleetd successfully, but now if I enter a yet uninstalled command in the bash shell, I am getting this error:
Failed to search for file: Failed to download gpg key for repo 'mariadb-main': Curl error (37): Couldn't read a file:// file for file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/MariaDB-Server-GPG-KEY [Couldn't open file /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/MariaDB-Server-GPG-KEY]
For example, if I enter the command ftp, previously I would have got a message indicating that ftp was not installed, and I would have got some recommendations on which command I meant and would like to download. However, now I get this:
[username@localhost ~]$ ftp
bash: ftp: command not found...
Failed to search for file: Failed to download gpg key for repo 'mariadb-main': Curl error (37): Couldn't read a file:// file for file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/MariaDB-Server-GPG-KEY [Couldn't open file /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/MariaDB-Server-GPG-KEY]
[username@localhost ~]$
After some searching around I have found that it is because the file etc/yum.repos.d/mariadb.repo has an entry:
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/MariaDB-Server-GPG-KEY
and the MariaDB-Server-GPG-KEY file does not exist in etc/pki/rpm-gpg
I suppose this should have been created automatically when I installed mariadb? How do I make this bash error go away? Is there any way I can download or create this file manually?
— EDIT —
This was resolved as follows:
Downloaded RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB as explained in Philip's answer (https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/602962/28907)
Copied it to /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/
In /etc/yum.repos.d/mariadb.repo
changed the line gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/MariaDB-Server-GPG-KEY
to gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
Set the gpgcheck for other entries in the mariadb.repo file to 0 (I don't have maxscale and mariadb enterprise installed)
Best Answer
For me the solutions was to do manually
directly inside of directory /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/, and that created the file RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB.
