Info from expressvpn's site ...

wget https://www.expressvpn.com/expressvpn_release_public_key_0xAFF2A1415F6A3A38.asc

gpg --import expressvpn_release_public_key_0xAFF2A1415F6A3A38.asc

All installed fine; thank you very much for maintaining.

Looks like update notifications are working for the linux client now, but unfortunately the current version (2.3.2) thinks it's an older version (2.3.1 -- check expressvpn --version), so the update alert people get when they run expressvpn status may be a false positive.

Please check what version is reported at https://www.expressvpn.com/latest (or https://www.expressvpn.com/support/troubleshooting/china-status/#linux as this sometimes gets updates listed sooner) before flagging the package as out-of-date.

Please note that, from v2.0.0, ExpressVPN will be providing signed Arch packages on their website (alongside the deb and rpm packages). I'll be continuing to update this package, but for those that find using the AUR cumbersome or just don't want to wait, please be aware of this option.

EDIT: packages were delayed for testing, but seem to be live as of 2019-01-23.

For a quick fix request the key from the gpg servers: gpg --recv-keys AFF2A1415F6A3A38

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg#Signature_checking You can turn on automatic key fetching using the tip at this link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#Use_a_keyserver

I updated the sha256sum for the license file, so it should work again now. They're not actually changing the license information, it's just silly css filename changes and whatnot. If it happens again, I'll probably just prefix the license file with a date and skip the checksum for it.

I'm receiving the error: ==> Validating source files with sha512sums... expressvpnd.service ... Passed license.html ... FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check! ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build expressvpn. I'm using yaourt to install this. Hope this gets resolved.

Thanks, the license file was indeed the problem.

WorMzy commented on 2016-04-14 14:53 (UTC)

The license file changed upstream, I've updated the sha512 sum. You might want to look into the auto-key-retrieve option in your gnupg.conf file. See the tip on this page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#Use_a_keyserver

@reedlaw: I just downloaded and verified the package ok. Is there something strange going on with your Internet connection? Build Log: https://gist.github.com/9aa620e5b2662b50cfc3170621dde87c

reedlaw commented on 2016-04-14 14:46 (UTC)

I'm on x86_64. I downloaded the latest expressvpn_1.0_amd64.deb and verified the sha512sum. I also added the public key to my gpg keyring manually.

reedlaw commented on 2016-04-14 14:42 (UTC)

I get "ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!"
