Hello all,
I'm deploying an Amazon EC2 instance of RHEL and attempting to install MongoDB via yum.
Following the guide provided by MongoDB, if I place only the repo file for either mongodb 7 or 8, the install fails. If I place both repo files, it still fails.
If only 7's repo file is present, it fails with 7's GPG key.

You can remove cached packages by executing 'yum clean packages'.
Error: GPG check FAILED
If only 8's repo file is present, it fails with libssl and libcrypto errors:
Excerpt:
[...]
- cannot install the best candidate for the job
- nothing provides libcrypto.so.1.1()(64bit) needed by mongodb-org-server-8.0.0-1.el8.x86_64 from mongodb-org-8.0
- nothing provides libcrypto.so.1.1(OPENSSL_1_1_0)(64bit) needed by mongodb-org-server-8.0.0-1.el8.x86_64 from mongodb-org-8.0
[...]
If both 7 and 8's repo file is present, it fails on 7's GPG key again.
I've tried manually importing both 7 and 8's GPG keys with:
rpm --import "https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-8.0.asc"
and
rpm --import "https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-7.0.asc"
The 8 import seems to work but the 7 import fails.
The thing is, last week, I successfully installed MongoDB on RHEL 9 using these exact same steps. I'm just doing it again now to capture documentation for work and it's failing.
So my questions are: What the hell?
Seriously though, what can I do to fix this? Is this a problem with MongoDB? Do they need to update their keys?
Thanks
