Public bug reported: Occasionally, repository owners change related information, keys, etc. This generally causes apt to issue an error to the user, such as:
... Reading package lists... Done E: Repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/<author>/<package>/ubuntu disco InRelease' changed its 'Label' value from '<some old long label>' to '<some new long label>' N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details. ... When using "apt" on the command line, the system asks: Do you want to accept these changes and continue updating from this repository? [y/N] Synaptic will report the error, but does nothing to allow the user to accept changes. The older "apt-get" tool does the same unless a --allow-releaseinfo-change update" switch is given: sudo apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update I suggest an enhancement to allow synaptic to somehow "accept the changes" for the affected repository(s). ** Affects: synaptic (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: accept apt explicit -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851851 Title: Add option to explicitly accept repository changes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/1851851/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
