what does "Nonce verification error" mean?

[Steve]

Hello All,

We had a working salt-minion. We changed the hostname of the server so we deleted the old salt-key, re-added it with the new FQDN, ran a test.ping which worked. But when we apply a salt state with state.sls we are getting.

[DEBUG ] The functions from module 'nested' are being loaded by dir() on the loaded module

It seems to say it isn't getting a response but It got a response from the test ping. What is going on?

If it's any help, the error appears to come from:

 salt/lib/python3.10/site-packages/salt/crypt.py

which I guess, might have something to do with a key mismatch  - did you remove the minion_master.pub key on the minion and restart the salt-minion service ?
