apt-get update : 401 Unauthorised

Postby twqqis on Tue Nov 22, 2011 3:04 pm

Hi,

When doing "sudo apt-get update" I get the following output:
Code: Select all
...

So it seems to me that it isn't a network/internet problem, as most of these seem to work fine.
Should I be worried about those that give the 401 message, don't like the msg at the bottom saying "old ones used instead" !

Thanks :)

Linux Mint is funded by ads and donations.

Look like missing signing key use for authentication . Check : synaptic package manager -setting - repositories - authentication. In my list I have default 6 keys.

Ok, in synaptic-settings-repositories-authentication, I have this list:

    Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>
    Ubuntu CD Imaging Automatic Signing Key <cdimage@ubuntu.com>
    Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>
    Clement Lefebvre (Linux Mint Package Repository v1) <root@linuxmint.com>
    Medibuntu Packaging Team <admin@lists.medibuntu.org>
    GetDeb Archive Automatic Signing Key <archive@getdeb.net>

So there is something there for linux mint..right? maybe I need another, maybe an updated key?
Where can I get that?

Or that not it?

Thanks! :)
