no valid openPGP data found

Asked by Rahul Vasist

I have created an ubuntu app using quickly. After packaging it using "quickly package", I tried to upload it to my ppa, but I got the following error:

 dput ppa:rahulvasist03/financemanagement2 financemanagement_0.1_i386.changes
Checking signature on .changes
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: the signature could not be verified.
Please remember that the signature file (.sig or .asc)
should be the first file given on the command line.
No signature on /home/rahul/financemanagement_0.1_i386.changes

Initially, I had not registered my OpenPGP key with launchpad. But, even after I registered my key, I'm getting the same error.

Any help would be appreciated

You need to sign the .changes file using debsign.

I tried to do that, but got the following error:

debsign financemanagement_0.1_i386.changes
 signfile financemanagement_0.1.dsc Rahul <rahul@rahul-Inspiron-N5110>
gpg: skipped "Rahul <rahul@rahul-Inspiron-N5110>": secret key not available
gpg: /tmp/debsign.tVOfAsuN/financemanagement_0.1.dsc: clearsign failed: secret key not available
debsign: gpg error occurred! Aborting....

Your name and email address in debian/changelog need to make an identity on your OpenPGP key.
