Error: requires installation of untrusted packages

How to get rid of this annoying error pls. Hoping for a simple fix.

Thanks

 

Re: Error: requires installation of untrusted pacakges

can you please click on details as well

also are you able to install via synaptic package manager

or

apt-get install software-name

 

Re: Error: requires installation of untrusted pacakges

aigle, most probably you didn't add the OpenPGP key for a repo you're using.

 

Re: Error: requires installation of untrusted pacakges

Thanks here is the detail. I did not try it via command line as I don,t know exact name of software.

 

Re: Error: requires installation of untrusted pacakges

Hmm... I usually just download the deb packages of the software I need and install them.

How can I add that key? Thanks

 

IIRC, the gstreamer plugins are in the Medibuntu repository, which you will need to manually add. This command should add the repo and the PGP key all in one swoop:

Code:

sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update

Source: http://medibuntu.org/repository.php

 

Is there something like 'NO_PUBKEY xxxxxxxxyyyyyyyy' in the details?
If so, you need to find and add the key.

gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys yyyyyyyy
gpg -a --export yyyyyyyy | sudo apt-key add -

Tou can also use Passwords and Encryption Keys to find and export the key as file. Then import the keyfile via Software Sources (Authentication tab).

 

Nothing like this in details.

 

Thanks a lot. Still no go.

I see this:

 

Have you tried another mirror?

Maybe this solve the problem.
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-the-ubuntu-gpg-error-badsig.html

 

few reasons any one could be there

1st mirror problem (change default mirror and check again)

2nd corupt data base (try ......... sudo apt-get clean) or install bleachbit from website install deb package and clean from root apt pakages

3rd gpg key error (import key from key server)

4th no dns define ubuntu network connection if it manual ip address (please click edit on your network icon and go to your wired/wireless connection write dns address of your server)

5th bad repositories?


try

sudo apt-get clean

 

more screen shots

try to revert (ie uncheck all repositories and try (check)them one by one see which is giving problem delete and install repository again )

try to change main server to some else server

 

install the .deb

http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/

run and clean from bleach bit as root and non root

command way

sudo su

#apt-get clean

#apt-get autoclean

hope out of all this one will work for you if not then reinstall repositories it will work

also like to add

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu

 

See this thread on Ubuntu forums. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread....atic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>

..and try

sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
sudo aptitude update

or as already mentioned in ard14_ny's link...

sudo aptitude -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True -o Acquire::BrokenProxy=true update

 

ocky is there any way to skip broken repo's in apt-get like we have in yum

also which key servers work on port 80 or access like simple HTML where you can download key files for ppa .........etc

i mean not on port 11371

example

keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371

 

Simple fix?

Run untrusted packages in Synaptic.

They always install from there.

 

In Ubuntu there is similar:-
apt-get check - It does an update of the package lists and checks for broken dependencies.

mack_guy your second question is much too difficult for me to understand.

 

Is this what you mean?
http://pgp.mit.edu/
http://www.pgp.net/pgpnet/wwwkeys.html

 

yes my firewall is blocking key server please can you give me a rule set or any http site where i can search and import keys from

those link also block when search keys on them i disable proxy and try to connect directly same error.

 

Thanks all of you, lot n lot.

Special thanks to ard14n, mack guy and Ocky.

It worked.

 

Thanks. Glad to know that it fixed

 

Sorry, both site connect to port 11371 too.
Is this firewall rule work?
allow
outbound
protocol tcp
destination port 11371

or you can force keyserver.ubuntu.com to use port 80.
Like this.
http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80/pks/lookup?search=0x437D05B5&op=vindex

If you use opera, you can add a custom search for convenient searching.




Change the port to 80.

 

thanks very much ard14n_y

glad aigle your problem solved bro

i didnt know it open on port 80 (awesome dude)

you save one more rule in my poor firewall
