Title: apt-get won't install packages (GPG error)
Post by: Commander on 14 July 2004, 02:29

hiya guys.
i just installed synaptic.  i installed apt-get a few weeks ago, but there were some package problems with duplicates and stuff.  so i used synaptic to remove the duplicates and did "apt-get check", which returned no errors.  
i was feeling preety good, until i did an upgrade in synaptic.  it downloaded the packages but didnt install anothing.  so to find out why, i did "apt-get install libxine", which returned

Code: [Select]

so, how do i fix the signature problem?  any help is really appreciated.  

btw, here's my list file.(/etc/apt/sources.list)

Code: [Select]

EDIT: sry for the wide post   :(

$ rpm --import public-keys.asc
$ apt-get install libxine

is it too dangerous to disable sig checking?  if it isnt, then i'll just disable it and use apt.

no prob. 1280x1024 says it's all good

also... try re-installing the apt packages. d/l them from a different location and try a different repository

Go ahead and disable GPG for a few minutes, nobody's looking.

thankx tux.  i disabled gpg to install a few things.  as for different repos, would anyone using suse 9.1 like to share their sources list?

i actually went a step farther and reinstalled suse.  but the gpg problem is still there.  so i went to guru's rpm site and used his source list and key.  with this i installed amsn and it went perfectly.  so i've come to the conclusion that i dont have proper gpg keys for my sources (even if this was obvious to many of you, it wasnt for me).  so i was wondering if anyone have any other *.asc files with their repos.  i would really appreciate this.
