Dropping the AppStream task, as that's more of an APT bug. With the SRU and change in yakkety, appstream data is now generated even if some updates failed.
Note that I chose not to close this bug report with those uploads, as this bug report sort of keeps track of the larger problem of these error class, and not the appstream-related aspect in particular. With this most important problem gone, I consider marking this bug as wontfix for xenial - Long term we will have a reworked handling of untrusted repositories, but I think this is probably going to be to invasive for xenial to backport. ** No longer affects: appstream (Ubuntu) ** No longer affects: appstream (Ubuntu Xenial) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1562733 Title: apt signature requierements prevent updates from some repositories Status in apt package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in apt source package in Xenial: Confirmed Bug description: Since xenial updated the requirements for the strength of PGP signatures of packages, packages from some repositories are no longer updated. Apt-get update reports these errors: E: Failed to fetch http://[...]/Release No Hash entry in Release file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/[...] which is considered strong enough for security purposes E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. While the motivation for the change is valid, the result is a potential security problem, as the new versions of the packages that may fix recently discovered vulnerabilities are not automatically installed. One less important but unfortunate effect is a scary message that is displayed to the user, without clear explanation that the problem needs to be addressed by the repository owner.
