I ran a fresh install of Debian stretch 9.8.0 and all was well. I then ran
sudo apt update
and I get an output which hits the ftp.debian.stretch server for the update thing is it tells me
unable to retrieve update trusted.gpg keys unauthorised
So I do a bit of research and came across a post, it said
Rename
trusted.gpg
totrusted.gpg-broken
And now I can sudo apt update
and basically get what ever I want as standard, but I don’t understand why after a fresh install the trusted keys were not found in the file?
And I also don’t understand what changing trusted.gpg
to trusted.gpg-broken
actually did to the keys.
-broken
doesn't mean anything. You can call it-backup
or simply delete it to have the same effect. Renaming the file is just to get the old one out of the way but don't delete it for backup reasons. I think when the file is missing,apt
will somehow regenerate (and thus fix) it. Why it happens in the first place, I don't know. – pLumo Mar 08 '19 at 12:39
