Re: MX16 update problem

#11 Post by bazzaman »

I used MX Repo Manager to select the fastest MX repo near my usual VPN server location. Did the same In the Debian repo list. And in the Individual sources I unchecked the ' *deb https://riot.im/packages/debian/artful main.
Then reloaded but still got errors, so went back and re-checked *deb https://riot.im/packages/debian/artful main.
Reloading results in this message:
W: GPG error: https://riot.im artful InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY E019645248E8F4A1

At present there are 3 broken packages and 6 to install/upgrade.
I cannot fix the broken packages using Edit>Fix Broken Packages.

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies

Checkaptgpg should fix the NO_PUBKEY error. (I'll let someone else deliver the FrankenDebian lecture)

Code: Select all

$ sudo checkaptgpg

Checking dl.google.com_linux_chrome_deb_dists_stable_Release
    Good GPG signature found.

Checking riot.im_packages_debian_dists_artful_Release
gpg: requesting key 48E8F4A1 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: key 48E8F4A1: public key "riot.im (Package Signing key) <packages@riot.im>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)

Checking mxrepo.com_mx_repo_dists_mx16_InRelease
    Good GPG signature found. ...

thank you... checkaptgpg did it. After reloading synaptic package manager message reads "Successfully fixed dependency problems"

I already posted the Checkaptgpg suggestion in post #7, AND delivered a mild FrankenDebian lecture. :p

@bazzaman, you might also wish to know that the checkaptgpg app can also be applied graphically from MX Tools without needing a

Code: Select all

sudo checkaptgpg

Sorry asqwerth, I missed that. I wasn't aware of the MX Tools option. I wasn't exaggerating too much with the senility remark... I'm slowing down.
Had to look up 'FrankenDebian'. The thing is I don't think I ever installed anything outside of the MX repos. And I have no idea what that riot.im key was for. (except for 1 AppImage, could that be it?)
Anyway it's all good now. Thanks to all here for your help and patience.
