[Bug 24061] Re: GPG error with apt-get/aptitude/update-manager behind proxy (BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5)

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
I have some problem with a local mirror (apt-mirror)

Holen: 1 http://192.168.0.100 trusty InRelease [246 B]       
Holen: 2 http://192.168.0.100 trusty-updates InRelease [246 B]       
Holen: 3 http://192.168.0.100 trusty-backports InRelease [246 B]
Holen: 4 http://192.168.0.100 trusty-security InRelease [246 B]                
Ign http://192.168.0.100 trusty InRelease                      Splitting up /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/192.168.0.100_ubuntu_dists_trusty_InRelease into data and signature failed
E: GPG-Fehler: http://192.168.0.100 trusty InRelease: Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NODATA' (does the network require authentication?)

in the directories like http://192.168.0.100/ubuntu/dists/trusty/ I have
a InRelease file

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>replace</title>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var pageName = '/';
top.location.replace(pageName);
</script>
</body>
</html>

if I am deleting it all works fine but after the next refresh of apt-
mirror InRelease is back and it happens the same.

I found a fix

#!/bin/bash
sudo cp -arf /var/lib/dpkg /var/lib/dpkg.backup
sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status
sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/available-old /var/lib/dpkg/available
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/updates/*
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg --clear-avail
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


did not work!

With the normal Repos everything is ok.

Bug description:
  I keep getting this when i launch the update manager.

  W: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy-updates Release: The following
  signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic
  Signing Key <ftpmaster@xxxxxxxxxx>

  How can I fix it?

  ***********
  WORKAROUND:
  ----------
  Run the following commands(saves a backup of the old lists and creates a new lists folder) and the BADSIG error does not occur :

  $ cd /var/lib/apt
  $ sudo mv lists lists.old
  $ sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
  $ sudo apt-get update

  ***********

  comment from Rolf Leggewie: This is due to cache inconsistencies and
  thus is not necessarily a bug in Ubuntu at all.  But I hope the fine
  devs can find a way to better deal with broken proxies.  This is a
  very visible issue, a large number of internet connections are behind
  proxies and the users cannot do anything about it.
