APT Repo Public Key Expiration & Update

Setup, Configuration and Use Installation
1

All,

Our public key for the APT repos (snapshot/milestones/releases) expires today. We have just extended its validity until 2023 (thanks @theo!), but you will have to make sure that your Linux installation is aware of the new key, otherwise your will have problems when updating openHAB through apt. All you need to do execute:

wget -qO - 'https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=openhab' | sudo apt-key add -

Best regards,
Kai

This will affect OpenHABian users too . won’t it?

It will yes, but updating from the openHABian menu will do this step for you.

EDIT: If you select option 3 (stable) or 40 (testing/unstable) in the menu.

Using Raspbian here. Already updated, gave me OK message. We’re good up until 2023 again. :slight_smile:

Thanks!

Hello, I’m using Raspbian with Openhabian menu, didn’t update it for me, hence why I’m here in this thread now.

I can confirm chubber’s experience. The key did not update when I upgraded through openhabian-config. I had to update the key manually. I figured I had something non-standard in my config because I was having other apt issues at the same time.

It did not update for me from openhabian-config either :frowning:
I updated manually though.

Apologies all, slight oversight from me!

For openHABian to update the key you’d need to select option 3 (for stable) or 40 (for the latest testing/snapshot). It’s probably easier to put in the command at the first post though and I’ll see if it’s worth putting the function in the general upgrade option.

Works like charm, thanks man.

  • Platform information:
    • Hardware: RPi 3B+, Intel 128 GB SSD, Aeon labs Z-Stick Gen 5
    • OS: Openhabian
    • Java Runtime Environment: Included in Openhabian
    • openHAB version: 2.4 SNAPSHOT build 14?

I have tried the manuel update of the key by doing the following command:
[17:02:45] openhabian@Guard:~$ wget -q0 - ‘https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=openhab’ | sudo apt-key add -

And got the following message:
[sudo] password for openhabian: wget: invalid option – ‘0’
Usage: wget [OPTION]
 [URL]


Try `wget --help’ for more options.

Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for openhabian:XXXXXXX (entered password)
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

In the command is -q0 = q and figure zero or q and capital letter O?
Have I done something wrong?

Looking at the man page, I think it is a capital O. I just copied from the first post here & it worked.

12

Thanks, it worked!

Thank you, My 2.5.0-M1-1 wasn’t updating either after “The following signatures were invalid: EXPKEYSIG
” messages.
Did the command manually - all good now.

I’m trying to do a fresh OpenHabian installation (openhabian-pi-raspbian-201908050414-gitca0976f-crc6a66b5a1.img.xz) and it’s failing.

Is there something else going on with the repo tonight?

Unfortuantely there is
 at the moment, Bintray can’t sign the repository, which is why you get this error. Hopefully this will be fixed when the right person can get to the problem, but if not I will get a workaround to you as soon as I can.
