error checking datbase validation.

Info:

Android version 14
hypatia version 3.17

Hi all, 👋

I cannot scan anything anymore with hypatia.

Trying to refresh/updata database yields this result:

hypatia-md5-bloom.bin
Download ist fehlgeschlagen 
[etc.]

Alle Datenbanken wurden aktualisiert!

WARNING: There was an error while checking database validation, please double check signing key
WARNING: Failed to validate database, please double check signing key

When trying to use the malware scanner:

Lade Danenbank(en)...
[etc.]
Datenbanke(en) nicht verfügbar. Schadsoftware-Prüfung nicht möglich...

No idea why that is is. Hypatia used to work reliably. 🤔
Could someone help please ❓

Many greetings from Rosika 🙂

I'm getting the same error about the signing key. No idea when this happened, other than some time somewhat recently.

@Rosika2 @OkyDooky Hmm, I ran into this problem when testing. I am not sure why this is occurring. This might be a holdover from divest OS days. Can you clear app data, and then redownload the databases? That should fix the issue until I can find a proper solution.

[OkyDooky]

Sorry for the very late reply, but I just trued downloading the new databases, today, and I am not seeing that error appear. I didn't even clear the database for the app whatsoever. I don't know if this was a rogue speedbump, something on the database repo's side, or what. But, it isn't happening, right now. 🤷‍♂️
I'd close this issue if I were the author...but, even then I might leave it open for a bit just to make sure things stay that way. I'll keep a closer eye on Hypatia's behavior and messages and report back if the issue returns.

Hi @Inhishonor and @OkyDooky , 👋

sorry for my late answer. And thanks a lot for your replies. ❤️

I haven´t tried clearing app data yet, but it seems to work now.
Like with @OkyDooky the error doesn´t seem to pop up anymore. I last tried it a few days ago.

O.K., I´ll leave this issue open for a few days longer. If nothing new materializes I´ll close it afterwards.

Thanks to all for your input.

Cheers from Rosika 🙂

I believe what is happening here, is that the databases are getting validated while they are still being downloaded, causing the validation fail. I don't know if I will have time to fix this before next release, but in the meantime, I have updated the error messages to provide clearer instructions in 3c61e70.
