components of /etc/apt/sources.list
Hello All, I am currently installing apt on my 9.1 box at my house. I would like this box to be as stable and secure as possible. I am having trouble discerning which components I would like to have in my /etc/apt/sources.list file. So far I have base update security usr-local-bin kde mozilla samba3 funktronics packman and wine. How can I tell what other components I might want to use? Thanks, d33p th1nk3r

The packages I (you too?) benefit most from are: base update security kde rpmkeys If you need packages from other repositories, then you can enable those repositories, perhaps just temporary to allow installation of the packages you need. The rpmkeys repository contain GPG signing keys used to verify that a package actually comes from a valid source. If the rpmkey of a package is not installed, you can only install such a package with the '--no-checksig' option. Cheers, Leen

I suppose that explains the error message I just received. I do not have rpmkeys in my sources.list and when I just did 'apt-get update' and then 'apt-get upgrade' I received the following message. E: Error(s) while checking package signatures: 27 unsigned package(s) 15 package(s) with illegal/corrupted signatures What is the best way to fix this error? If I add rpmkeys to my sources.list file, and then run 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade' again, will this problem be resolved, or do I need to do more. Thanks, d33p th1nk3r

Adding the rpmkeys should take care of many (if not all) of the errors. I believe you should also add suser-rbos to your sources list so you can get updates to APT. Brian Jonas

I am still getting the same error as above. 1. I added 'rpmkeys' and suser-rbos to my sources.list 2. I typed apt-get update' 3. I typed 'apt-get upgrade' Is there something I am missing? A step that I haven't taken? d33p th1nk3r

You probably have one or two *unsigned* rpm files. Not all of the files are signed. In those cases '--no-che' is necessary, if you want to install the file. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos

Sorry Brian, but you're wrong. Only adding rpmkeys to sources.list is not enough. One has to *install* the missing rpmkey too, *manually*, and possibly with the --no-checksig switch. So take a look at http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.1-i386/RPMS.rpmkeys/, and see what rpmkey you need. For example, if you need the rpmkey of the suser-rbos repository, install it with: apt --no-checksig install rpmkey-suser-rbos
I believe you should also add suser-rbos to your sources list so you can get updates to APT.
Yes, good point. :)

Indeed, see above. For each repository you add to sources.list, add the corresponding rpmkey if it exists. If you do not or cannot install a missing rpmkey, install packages from such a repository with: apt --no-checksig <rest of apt arguments> Cheers, Leen

OK.. here is what I have done. 1. Made my sources.list file look like this rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt SuSE/9.1-i386 base update security usr-local-bin kde mozilla samba3 funktronics packman wine rpmkeys suser-rbos 2. ran 'apt-get update' 3. ran 'apt --nochecksig install rpmkey-suser-rbos' (this seemed to work fine. SuSEconfig executed after this install). 4. ran 'apt --nochecksig install rpmkey-funktronics' (this seemed to work fine. SuSEconfig executed after this install). 5. ran 'apt --nochecksig install rpmkey-packman' (this seemed to work fine. SuSEconfig executed after this install). 6. Even though I did not see it in the rpmkeys repository, I ran 'apt --nochecksig install rpmkey-usr-local-bin'. I got an error, so I stopped trying to install rpmkeys. 7. I then ran 'apt-get update' again. Everything looked fine. 8. I then ran 'apt-get upgrade'. Again, I get the error E: Error(s) while checking package signatures: 27 unsigned package(s) 4 package(s) with unknown signatures 0 package(s) with illegal/corrupted signatures 9. I then ran 'apt --no-checksig upgrade'. I received this error. E: Error while running transaction. 10. I then tried 'apt-get upgrade' again. and received the same error as before (27 unsigned, 4 with unknown signatures, 0 illegal/corrupted). What should I do at this point? I fear that I am making my system unstable by doing all of this. d33p th1nk3r

Install the correct rpmkeys. Run 'apt upgrade' again, and post the *complete* output, so you don't leave something important out by mistake. ;) And to see what rpmkeys are installed , please post the output of rpm -qa | grep '^rpmkey-' too. From both outputs we can tell what rpmkeys you need to install. BTW, this morning I installed k3b from the packman repository, and that failed because of a wrong signature.

FYI: the packman's rpmkey rpm has been updated recently. Further more packman rpmkey rpm is provides many public gpg keys (about 10 I think) for they different people, that make up packman... Check with: rpm -q --qf "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} %{SUMMARY}\n" "gpg-pubkey-*" which public gpg keys have been imported.. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Seems all those 27 unsigned packages are from the user-local-bin repository. AFAIK, those need to be installed with the --no-checksig option.
4 package(s) with unknown signatures
All 4 need the key GPG#414a57c3. I took a peek at the samba3 repository, saw that the links pointed to the SuSE samba project, and there I found the key.

After you installed the key 414A57C3-lmuelle-gpg-key.asc, if apt *only* complains about 27 unsigned packages, just use the --no-checksig option to install those unsigned packages from user-local-bin. If you do not trust them, then ask yourself if it wouldn't be better to remove (comment out) the user-local-bin repository from your sources.list. ;) Cheers, Leen

Install with:

OK, I did this. Then I did 'apt-get update' then 'apt-get upgrade'. Seems to have worked since I only have 27 unsigned packages now.

I am OK with installing them with the '--no-checksig' option. The main reason I started trying to get apt to work is so I could play with ULB's version of Gnome 2.8. I am posting my most recent session below. I suppose the question is, what do I need to do to get ULB Gnome 2.8 to be an option in my session menu? Here is what I have just done. Please tell what I need to do in order t get ULB's Gnome 2.8 and the latest version of KDE as options for my desktop.

There is no 'gnome28.desktop' in that directory. Only 'gnome.desktop'. Also, after the last attempt at 'apt-get update' SuSEconfig did not run. How can I be sure of what did and what did not install from the ULB (or any other) repository? Thanks, d33p th1nk3r

Here is what I have just done.
[snipped expected output]
Please tell what I need to do in order t get ULB's Gnome 2.8 and the latest version of KDE as options for my desktop.
[snipping my advice]
There is no 'gnome28.desktop' in that directory. Only 'gnome.desktop'.
I assumed gnome.desktop was missing, but clearly it is not. So forget my advice, I do not know how to add a gnome session to KDM (I thought I did). I had a gnome session mission too. I installed the package 'gnome-session', and I got a gnome session (after logging in there where no letters, so *I* need to install more packages). Perhaps you only need to install the package 'gnome-session' from ULB. Cheers, Leen

Also, after the last attempt at 'apt-get update' SuSEconfig did not run.
SuSEconfig is not run after 'apt update', it is after e.g. apt upgrade, apt remove, apt install, etc. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
