Description of the issue:
When attempting to update or install Brave Origin Nightly on Fedora Linux via dnf using the instructions provided at brave.com/origin/linux/nightly/, a checksum failure always occurs, blocking not only installs/updates for brave, but all packages on the system if brave-origin-nightly is installed. What can i do to successfully re-install an up to date version of brave-origin-nightly?
Origin Build type (standalone or upgraded):
standalone
Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
Fedora Linux 43
brave-origin-nightly-0:1.98.28-1.x86_64
Additional Information:
For others experiencing the issue, i was able to continue by uninstalling brave-origin-nightly, updating all my packages, and then running dnf repoquery --available --latest-limit=2 brave-origin-nightly to see the second most recent package, which doesn’t have the checksum failure. In this case, i just had to run sudo dnf install brave-origin-nightly-0:1.98.22-1.x86_64 to get back up and running again. As long as you dont run a clean command on your system it should still keep your open tabs, history, extensions, preferences, cookies, etc.
Hopefully brave puts out a fix soon.
Wouldn’t uninstall it, just disable the repo instead: sudo dnf config-manager setopt brave-browser-nightly.enabled=0
It looks like a major fedora update actually rolled out which required using gnome software and restarting the system to go through, and after brave was able to install fine, so the issue was likely related to that
