APT Repo Public Key Expiration & Update

The issue with the stable repo has been resolved now. I’d reccomend using the bintray server for the stable releases.

So you recommend me and others who changed the file openhab2.list according to @mstormi’s
solution should change it back to the original “https://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo2 stable main”?

Both repositories will continue to work fine, but the Bintray server is better suited to distribution-time releases than the jfrog (artifactory) server.

I could try whatever I want - I always got GPG errors for the OpenHAB repos, both jfrog and bintray. This is what worked for me in the end:

Delete apt status information:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

Load bintray key again:

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

After that, apt-get update started working again.

Any idea why I am getting an error when running the command?

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

Gives me:

curl: option -: is unknown
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

You probably have messed up your installation or are using some exotic OS, but ‘curl’ is not part of the apt-key script (at least not on Raspbian). Eventually you have created an misdirected alias, too.

And please follow community guidelines when posting from now on.

Same problem here with a rpi4, raspbian (buster): stable release is not signed.

Tried removing all files under/var/lib/apt/lists, but did not work…

Anybody having the same problem?

Thanks so much.

I might have accidentially destroyed the signature last night… Will see to get it working asap again, sorry!

Doesn’t work for me.
Just tried on Debian 9.9 for the stable release with the bintray server.

Hi @matzR

Could you send a copy of the error you’re getting? I’ve just checked and the repo is working for me.

Hei Guys,
can somebody tell me where i can find the Home UUID for the camera thing in the Paper UI

Please open a new thread. In that thread, please include:

  • version of OH you are running
  • what binding you are talking about (IP Camera binding?)
  • what you have done thus far to solve the problem.

This question is not related in any way to this thread.

Kai, it’s working fine now, thanks a lot!

Sorry, I have been out for a while, could not have tried earlier.

Cheers!

E: The repository ‘http://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo stable Release’ is no longer signed.
N: Updating from such a repository can’t be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Tried:

wget -qO - ‘Service End for Bintray, JCenter, GoCenter, and ChartCenter | JFrog’ | sudo apt-key add -

But same result.

Can I ask which instructions you’re following?

The sources file (e.g. /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list) should contain:

deb https://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo2 stable main

Your file currently misses the ‘s’ in ‘https’ and the ‘2’ in ‘apt-repo2’ so is currenly pointing to an old repo.

Thanks!
My openhab2.list file was correct, but I had still the openhab.list file there as well.
Removed this now and the update worked.

Thanks a lost for your help!

Thanks to a clue from @matzR I figured out my problem. The openhab2 repo is signed but not the openhab (1.8) repository. Is this intentional?

I know you’re encouraging people to move to openhab2 but until there’s an insteon binding for openhab2 I’m stuck (but very happy with) with openhab 1.8. I want to upgrade my server to buster but I’m not keen to use the [trusted=yes] workaround.

Cheers from a long-time happy openhab user,
Chris

You are aware that OH 2 can and does run OH 1.x bindings right? You may choose to stay on OH 1.8, but the lack of a 2.x version of any binding doesn’t mean you are stuck on OH 1.8.

I am aware of that possibility but I didn’t want to distract this thread by getting into the big issue of OH2’s future and upheaval (from a relative outsider’s point of view).

Suffice to say that, for me personally, I’m looking at an OH2 Insteon binding being a milestone at which I’ll put in the effort to upgrade. Otherwise I may look at other options if there’s no way to keep on with OH. :frowning_face:

So, I take it that not signing the old repo is intentional?
