Hi folks,

I am trying since a long time to download/update .deb packages with aptget, and it fails badly:

W: GPG error: http://repository.maemo.org diablo Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG E40DC434616730BD maemo.org Extras repositories (Fremantle Extras) <repositories@maemo.org>
W: GPG error: http://repository.maemo.org diablo Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG E40DC434616730BD maemo.org Extras repositories (Fremantle Extras) <repositories@maemo.org>
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems


So:
1) Why it is taking forever to fix such a trivial issue as signatures? I googled for this error, and seems a very old one.
2) Why apt-get is complaining about "Fremantle Extras" if I use Diablo, and no reference to Fremantle exists on my apt source files?
3) How can I overcome this problem?

Thanks!!
Cheers,
L.

I think you have the wrong repositories.

Double check that they are all for Diablo and none for Fremantle.

You are not doing anything wrong, for some strange reason the repository started getting signed (and incorrectly at that) with the Fremantle key a while ago. See bug 11384 and feel free to vote for it.

Yes, this is what I found, too. What I don't understand is how such a trivial thing can be FOUR months without being fixed? This raises the question about to what extent maemo is being maintained.

Is there anything we can do to overcome this? yum allows you to turn off signature check, but AFAIK not apt-get.

Thanks,
L.

Nope, I triple checked that...

Thanks,
