I am on a high-latency, low-bandwidth, rural connection, and maintain a few debian PCs, so I run a local debian repo mirror which I update at a friend's every now and then.
My sources.list contains only: deb file:///public/debian/debian sid main Now, both of these: apt-get update apt-get --allow-unauthenticated update result in: --------------- Ign file: sid InRelease Get:1 file: sid Release.gpg [1,571 B] Get:2 file: sid Release [203 kB] E: Release file for file:///public/debian/debian/dists/sid/Release is expired (invalid since 29d 11h 43min 57s). Updates for this repository will not be applied. --------------- The file /public/debian/debian/dists/sid/Release contains at line 6 Valid-Until: Thu, 13 Jun 2013 02:42:22 UTC which corresponds to my last debmirror update. So in the past as a workaround, I update line 6 of Release file to read, eg: Valid-Until: Thu, 13 Jun 2014 02:42:22 UTC which in the past worked for me, but which now causes a signature failure - both the above apt-get update commands still fail, this time with the following error: --------------- Ign file: sid InRelease Get:1 file: sid Release.gpg [1,571 B] Get:2 file: sid Release [203 kB] Err file: sid Release Reading package lists... Done W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: file: sid Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG AED4B06F473041FA Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (6.0/squeeze) <ftpmas...@debian.org> W: Failed to fetch file:/public/debian/debian/dists/sid/Release W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. -------- Anyone know what's changed, that is stopping me from temporarily ignoring the out of date Release file in my local repo, and/ or how to get around this problem, since my previous workaround no longer works? Very much looking forward to a fix that does _not_ involve changing my system date! TIA zenaan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
