I’m having issues with updating the percona-release package from percona-release-1.0-25.noarch to percona-release-1.0-26.noarch on any CentOS 8 boxes.

To replicate on a fresh CentOS 8.3.2011 install run:  
`dnf install https://repo.percona.com/yum/release/8/RPMS/noarch/percona-release-1.0-25.noarch.rpm`  
`dnf update`

The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.  
You can remove cached packages by executing ‘dnf clean packages’.  
Error: GPG check FAILED

I get a similar error on existing installs on a separate server.

Is there an issue with this package or what am I doing wrong?

Hi,

Can you please try with:  
[https://downloads.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/percona-release-1.0-26/redhat/percona-release-1.0-26.noarch.rpm](https://downloads.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/percona-release-1.0-26/redhat/percona-release-1.0-26.noarch.rpm)

It looks like you’re trying to install older version of the package.

`dnf install https://downloads.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/percona-release-1.0-26/redhat/percona-release-1.0-26.noarch.rpm`

Does appear to install cleanly, I don’t really understand then why the 1.0.26 coming from your yum repo would error when the direct download succeeds but it gives me a workaround for now at least.

Recommended way is/should be to use the: [https://repo.percona.com/yum/percona-release-latest.noarch.rpm](https://repo.percona.com/yum/percona-release-latest.noarch.rpm)

This will install/upgrade to the latest version of the release package.
