Package: apt Version: 0.9.3 Followup-For: Bug #657561 Hi,
I can confirm this behaviour still exists, and can easily reproduce it: Just manually edit one or more of /var/lib/apt/lists/*_Release apt-get update will from that point onward (at least until a _Release file with a newer timestamp comes along) fail to update correctly. I'm inclined to suggest removing _Release (and _Release.gpg) files that fail verification due to bad signatures. The same issue applies to _InRelease files too, though the error messages are slightly different: W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://ftp.iinet.net.au wheezy InRelease: Unknown error executing gpgv W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/debian/dists/wheezy/InRelease W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. I find it odd that apt claimed that the GPG error was an unknown one given that signing Release files is mainly intended for detecting tampered files, yet the actual problem is that the file was tampered with. :P -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "amd64"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Install-Recommends "0"; APT::Install-Suggests "0"; APT::Authentication ""; APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true"; APT::NeverAutoRemove ""; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^firmware-linux.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-firmware$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-image.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-restricted-modules.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-ubuntu-modules-.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach-image.*"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections ""; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "restricted/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "universe/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "multiverse/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "oldlibs"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "restricted/oldlibs"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "universe/oldlibs"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "multiverse/oldlibs"; APT::Get ""; APT::Get::Purge "true"; APT::Architectures ""; APT::Architectures:: "amd64"; APT::Compressor ""; APT::Compressor::.
