This time I'm stumped. I confess I have not followed this list for a long time until the last few days, so it's possible that I've run afoul of something already discussed. Late Wednesday afternoon, I restarted my relay (MYCROFTsOtherChild), which changed it from 0.3.0.6 to 0.3.0.7. That was the only change I made. It went through a normal startup and published its descriptor. After a few hours, tor noticed that its descriptor was still not in the latest consensus, so it republished it. After several more hours had passed with each consensus lacking my relay's descriptor, I made a small change to an ExitPolicy line in torrc. In the meantime, I had read some recent postings to this list and had noted some remarks regarding mismatched RSA and ED25519 keys, so I renamed /var/db/tor/keys and restarted tor again, whereupon it generated new keys and appeared to proceed normally. Once again a new descriptor was published and has since been republished and updated with no apparent problem beyond some republications being told by one or more authorities that the descriptor was rejected as "not new". Nevertheless, my relay's descriptor still has not appeared in a consensus since the last time it ran 0.3.0.6. If an authority operator would be so kind as to check the authority's logs for any errors pertaining to my relay with either its old keys or its new keys and let me know what they say, I would be grateful. Thanks for any help or suggestions of things to try.
