I just updated to the latest version of apt and synaptic and now synaptic doesn't update/install anything. It goes through the motions but at the end of the process nothing is updated or installed. I'm using Suse 9.0. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a solution for this problem? Thanks, Jerome
I have a similar problem. Using apt-get, I can see that there are signature problem. I posted a question on this mailing list. Ricard Bos suggested me to use "apt --no-checksig install xxx" where xxx is the package to be installed and that works fine. But it of course not nice that synaptic does not work anymore
Try this, It's caused by a plugin script that checks the rpm integrity. Indeed introduced with the latest apt rpm update. But man apt tells you: --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. The Configuration item RPM::GPG-Check can be set to false in the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/gpg-checker.conf (make true -> false) if you don't want to check the rpm integrity. The plugin scripts are located at: /usr/lib/apt/scripts/ With thanks to Richard Bos Suc6 Gerrit Jan
