bad, unknown, and missing signatures with apt
After getting apt installed, I ran apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade. After downloading a lot of things, the system returned the following errors... E: Error(s) while checking package signatures: 30 unsigned package(s) 9 package(s) with unknown signatures 0 package(s) with illegal/corrupted signatures What should I do at this point ? I am using the following in /etc/apt/sources.list rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt SuSE/9.1-i386 base update kde xfree86 mozilla suser-rbos usr-local-bin funktronics packman packman-i686 wine kde3-stable security Thanks, .:Thinker

Did you search for it? I think there about 100 posts about this or more! It's mentioned also mentioned in the manual page: --no-checksig Do not check the integrity of the packages to be installed. It can be used if the integrity check fails for 1 or more packages, but the packages have been obtained from a save origin. Configuration item: RPM::GPG-Check. But hey the solution is to install with the argument --no-checksig. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

OK.. I see what you are saying and I see the --no-checksig option in the man pages for apt, but I do not understand how I am supposed to resolve the issue with the 30 unsigned packages and 9 packages with unknown signatures I have already downloaded using 'apt-get upgrade' and now need to be installed. How does the --no-checksig option work with the apt-get upgrade command? Or am I totally off track here? .:Thinker

.:Thinker Something happened to one of my installations --server timeout-- and apt suggested I append the --fix-missing switch to the existing command line. I did that, the pkg d/l & all of them installed which were already d/l, as well.

What was the existing command line? This is what I am having trouble with. What is the exact command I should type with the '--no-checksig' and '--fix-missing' switches? .:Thinker

When I typed "apt-get --no-checksig upgrade" I received the following message. "E: Command line option --no-checksig is not understood" Any ideas? .:Thinker

.:Thinker It happened to me too, but then I used apt --no-checksig upgrade and it went ok. RA

No, that's a hack. Turning off security checks is NOT a solution. The solution is to get the gpg public keys from the people you feel you trust, the people from whom you want to install rpms, and add it to your rpm database
