Update Jessie to Stretch results in unknown apt-key errors

Hello,
I am using a RPi3, having installed OSMC, added a MySQL-Server, an owncloud-server , configured cron-apt (everything done under Jessie) and all worked relatively good.

First issue has been the cron-apt errors concerning multiple configuration of target packages

W: Target Packages (main/binary-armhf/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:7 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/security.list:1

But since this have been only warnings and cron-apt did its job, I have ignored this due to work-pressure.

But since the end of April, I have a severe issue concerning apt-key, which prevents the download of the package-lists.

W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://security.debian.org stretch/updates InRelease: Unknown error executing apt-key

Please forgive me, because I am no professional Linux-user, so please tell me exactly what to do, to give you the data you need.

With kind regards
Martin

To get a better understanding of the problem you are experiencing we need more information from you. The best way to get this information is for you to upload logs that demonstrate your problem. You can learn more about how to submit a useful support request here.

So, in summary:

  • activate the logging
  • reboot the OSMC device
  • reproduce the issue
  • upload the log set either using the Log Uploader method within the My OSMC menu in the GUI or the ssh method invoking command grab-logs -A
  • publish the provided URL from the log set upload, here

Thanks for your understanding. We hope that we can help you get up and running again shortly.

Unattended upgrades (such as Cron apt) aren’t recommended or supported as they can cause undesirable effects.

Sam

I hope that I did it correctly:

sudo apt-get update | grab-logs -A
Logs successfully uploaded.
Logs available at https://paste.osmc.tv/adufequkey

sudo apt-get update | paste-log

Thats gives just the output of apt-get update

it worked, anyway. Grateful if someone with better German than me can have a look at the apt term log.

I can only put 5 links per post:

First of all, please show us /etc/apt/sources.list.d/security.list since it seems to be causing problems.

According to Big G, the error “Unbekannter Fehler beim Ausführen von apt-key” translates as “Unknown error while running apt-key”. Therefore, please run apt-key list and post the output. If it throws an error, please run md5sum /usr/bin/apt-key. The result should be a479267a797c113b59b1a8b543c0870f.

First; cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/security.list gives

deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main

Second: apt-key list gives

No error and the md5sum /usr/bin/apt-key gives the expected result.

You should remove the file since it duplicates what’s already in /etc/apt/sources.list and will cause the “multiple times” error.

The output from apt-key list looks to be ok except that it’s missing the OSMC key. That is odd since I see that you have successfully updated from the OSMC repo. What’s the output from running ls -l /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d and ls -l /etc/apt?

Remove: Not done. Can’t use sudo anymore?!
Update: "Speicherzugriffsfehler (segmentation fault), had to reboot. Now done.

That’s a bit worrying, but now that the file has been removed, have you tried running sudo apt-get update to see if the “multiple times” error has gone?

As for the unknown apt-key error, please run

sudo apt-get update -o Debug::Acquire::gpgv=true 2>&1 | paste-log

and provide the URL.

If I looked forward to it :wink:

Well, it seems that this message might be a step forward:

gpgv exited with status 139

I’m very short of time this evening, so it’ll have to wait until tomorrow, but perhaps it might be worth reinstalling gpgv and libgcrypt20:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall gpgv libgcrypt20

and see if the problem persists.

Sorry, but this didn’t work:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall gpgv libgcrypt20
