I have done several system upgrades in the past.  This time I thought I would take the suggested precautions and download the workstation .iso

On trying to verify the download, using

https://fedoraproject.org/en/workstation/download/

I got a report that "17 lines are improperly formatted".  So I worried and did it again.  Same result.

What exactly did you do that got this error message?
How can I reproduce this?

This is BZ 733561, opened in 2011 and NOTABUG.  Isn't it time that this was mentioned in the 'helpful' warning suggestion?


The page quoted above is reached from the 'Warning' box in

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/

Click the download ikon for the AMD/x86_64 .iso and wait for it to finish. Then click the adjacent 'Verify' button and execute the commands given, from the Downloads folder.
