Hi,

         I have tried to use dnf and rpm to install rpm's for 3 packages,
    being WPS Office, Softmaker Office and Onlyoffice in F43 and all
    of them
    fail with the message "package <rpm package name> does not verify: no
    digest".

         What does this message mean and what am I missing in the fresh
    install of F43 when before I upgraded my machine components I had WPS
    Office successfully installed in F42? With Softmaker Office I was
    installing it from their repository, the other two were being
    installed
    from a downloaded rpm.


See <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RPM-6.0#User_Experience>: RPM-6> and <https://rpm.org/releases/6.0.0>.

What version of RPM was used for the problem packages? You could try `rpmkeys --rebuild ...`:

--rebuild  Recreate the public key storage. Update to the latest format and drop unreadable keys.

Thankyou George, the version of rpm I'm using is 6.0.0. I was able to install the rpm's using the --nodigest rpm parameter Jerry suggested, but DNF seems to not support that parameter which raises the question of how do you work around this sort of issue with repositories, which was the situation with Softmaker Office (I had a downloaded rpm as well that I was able to use). I didn't rebuild the keys as I didn't actually have any keys with the rpm's to use.

Why isn't the upstream provider signing their rpms?  If they are, you need to import their key.

The software supply does have a key for their repository which I have imported with rpmkey but it makes no difference to the issue, the dnf install/reinstall still fails with a nodigest error.
