Hi, I am a newbie of maemo and I have a terrible problem.
I installed ssh on my N810 and I gain root privileges. I had some repositories using the hildon application mamager:

Code:

deb http://maemo.jabber.dk/pidgin-n800-led-plugin chinook user

deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ chinook free non-free

deb http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/certified/ chinook user

deb http://repository.maemo.org chinook free non-free

deb http://elkins.org/packages chinook main

deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ chinook free

deb http://download.talinux.tal.org/pub/maemo chinook free

deb http://jalimo.evolvis.org/repository/maemo/ chinook user

deb http://www.mulliner.org/nokia770/repository/ chinook free

deb http://maemo-hackers.org/apt chinook main

deb http://www.cobb.uk.net/apt/ chinook user

When I launch apt-get update this is the output:

and I think that this is OK. But when I launch "apt-get uprade" I receive always this:

Need to get 2780kB of archives.

After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.

Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y

Abort.

Any ideas? :confused:

Thx in advance for your kind collaboration!

Re: apt-get error

Tried just pressing return? (as 'Y' is default).
Anyway, apt-get upgrade didn't use to be a safe (or even useful) operation back on OS2007, don't know for sure about OS2008.. is there any particular reason you want to run apt-get upgrade?

Re: apt-get error

I tried just pressing return, it doesn't work. Using "apt-get upgrade" I want to download and install all new packages from my repositories. I tried some days ago with a list of few repositories and it worked, but now with the new sources list it doesn't work. I tried to find a log, but the directory /var/log is empty....

Re: apt-get error

Are you entering 'y' or 'Y'. Looking at the screen shot it looks like you need to enter an upper case 'Y'...

Re: apt-get error

I don't think you need to enter an upper-case y because I never have. It's not really a good idea to run apt-get upgrade at all, they told me. I've been running it anyway and never got burned.

If you really care that much, you could disable a bunch of repositories and see if you still have the problem, etc, and use that sort of process to find out what repository is causing the problem. I would probably just not run apt-get upgrade for awhile, in reluctant respect of the advice I got...

Re: apt-get error

A few minutes ago I have just done this too except i used 'update' instead of 'upgrade' with similar results.

It is all a bit scary, I don't like some of the error messages either.

Lower case 'y' works.

The problem of 'No Pub Key' repositories still persists and I just hope I haven't introduced any complications by issueing terminal commands in a fit of exasperation.l

Re: apt-get error

BTW: There are probably only a few programs that need to be updated, so there is not really a pressing reason to use apt-get to do it rather than Application Manager. For most purposes, that's what it looks to me like Application Manager IS -- a graphical substitute for apt-get.

If only they had a checkbox for "upgrade everything possible", there would not even be a strong temptation to use apt-get, though I have appreciated the impetus to get "under the hood", to continue a metaphorical comparison between cars and tablets now ongoing in another thread...

And my understanding about those error messages about missing public keys is that they are basically not important, no? Si?

Re: apt-get error [solved]

Solved! :D
the problem was that I typed "y" or "Y", but I choose italian as OS language and I had to type "s" (sì in italian)! I have just tried with "s" and it works!

thx and bye!

So this message in Application Manager:
W: GPG error: http://maemo-hackers.org chinook Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 5FD45CD3EA68E29D
Is what you are saying that the error message is purely advisory? Are the packages contained in the repository still available in the usual way?

My inference was that they were blocked? Is that correct? Oui, Non?

Re: apt-get error

download the pgp key from http://inz.fi/pubkey.txt and use "apt-key add pubkey.txt".

bye!
