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
I thought it synaptic was broken, it isn't. The latest version doesn't tell you what the problem is. I reinstalled synaptic-0.47-rb2 and found out there is a signature problem. I don't understand why they changed synaptic-0.48-rb2 so that it doesn't report problems. This newest version is less useful than the previous one. Can anyone clarify why packages aren't aren't allways signed? Is it a security risk to load packages without a proper signature? Can I use synaptic with the --no-checksig option? Thanks, Jerome
