DOWNLOAD ERROR to core 159 - Nettime?

Getting Started with IPFire
1 
DOWNLOAD ERROR: The downloaded file (pub/network/security/ipfire/pakfire2/2.25/paks/core-upgrade-2.27-159.ipfire) wasn't verified by IPFire.org. Sorry - Exiting...
TIME ERROR: Unable to get the nettime, this may lead to the verification error.

0.ipfire.pool.ntp.org
1.ipfire.pool.ntp.org
Nettime is ok.

What can I do?
Thank’s for your help

There can be another reason. Download/verification can fail because of memory limitations.
Unfortunately the pakfire function isn’t aware of this failure ( yet ).
I know this error from my very tiny system ( ALIX ).

Bernhard, is there a way to get along with that? I tried to update a PC Engines Alix Board (32bit) to the latest possible CU 162 and did run exactly in this issue, too:

# pakfire upgrade
CORE UPGR: Upgrading from release 153 to 159
core-upgrade-2.25... 100.00% |=============================>|   91.98 MB

Actually I found a solution to bypass the failing verification procedure by using wget:

And from CU 159 to CU 162 the pakfire tool worked seamlessly again, maybe due to the lesser size of upgrade files:

Hi,

just for the sake of completeness: Since we don’t support i*86 anymore, I am afraid we cannot help you on this issue. Unfortunately, I never observed something similar either, so I don’t have any idea where to look further on this problem.

As you noted, 32-bit systems do not receive any updates after Core Update 162. Ultimately, please consider moving to 64-bit hardware.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and best regards,
Peter Müller
