Getting "Requires installation of untrusted packages" error after copying packages w/binaries between two of my PPAs

Your PPA has not the same signature as team's PPA. Correct ?

So you have to add the keys manually in apt, in order to install the software.

    sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com <keynumber>

Where <keynumber> replace it with the number of the key is missing. e.g 455756F9

Repeat as many times is required to import all missing keys.

No, all three keys are installed in my system.

I can install packages from a PPA that were built in that PPA without problem.

What I can't do is install those same packages after copying them to a different PPA.

Can you give the output of:

sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a

Thanks

Sure, it it is:

Wanted to double-check so I could give you a specific problem:

If I try to update the libreoffice package that is in ppa:centrych/updates, I get an error.

That package was built in one of my personal scratch PPAs and copied to the updates PPA. I had deleted it after copying, so I forget which one it was originally.

However, after copying the package to ppa:jprad/scractch1, the update works.

$ sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a

Then its fine, there are no mention of GPG keys in that output....

It's not fine, but I think I identified where the problem is.

I found another answer thread on launchpad with a similar error. One of the posts mentioned something about this happening if the PPA is renamed.

So, I set up a test by creating a dummy package in each of my PPAs, which are listed below, grouped by key. Each package has a unique version number and all of the PPAs have the same pin priority value.

With all of the PPAs enabled, the kernel, security and scratch1 PPAs are not listed in Synaptic when I select the Origin button.

I'm pretty sure I renamed each of those PPAs at some time in the past.

Hope that helps.

Sorry but I cannot understand what is the problem here. I've tested one of your PPAs (centrych/release) and there is no problem at all.

Maybe you meant something else ?

The key imported successfully and no untrusted packages message at all.

I can't understand what's going on either.

Here's a recap.

I moved the 3.6.6.2 build of LibreOffice from one of my scratch PPAs to the updates PPA.

After waiting for the move to complete, indicated by the checkmark in package details page for the PPA, I attempted an upgrade on my machine.

The update-manager saw the updated files, but I got the "Requires installation of untrusted packages" error when I tried it.

I tried it again late yesterday and it worked. I've made no changes to my two systems, i386 and amd64. Both failed, now they work.

However, I still have the same problem as I mentioned in post #6 above, when I enable all the PPAs, only a few are listed in Synaptic.

Try to remove all the PPAs from your system.

    sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:<the name/here>

Then do

    sudo apt-get update

and then add them again one by one

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:<the name/here>

 NikTh

Okay, that seems to have done the trick.

I had originally added the PPAs using the following:

# beta PPA
cat >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/centrych-dev-beta-precise.list <<EOF
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/centrych-dev/beta/ubuntu precise main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/centrych-dev/beta/ubuntu precise main
EOF

# beta key
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 325283A9

Is there something else that add-apt-repository is doing that I'm missing doing it this way?

Thanks NikTh, that solved my question.
