OpenOffice Updates Not Authenticated

[klausner]

The Update Manager in Intrepid tells me I have 67 Open Office related upgrades to install. Unfortunately, they are all marked as "Not Authenticated". I've traced the source to the http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu repository. I assume I am missing a PGP/GPG key, but I can't find one listed anywhere for OpenOffice. Am I missing something simple?

3rd party downloads will show this, that is a good source, I have 3 computers running the OO3 downloads from PPA.

It wouldn't even install the ooo3 updates for me.. I eneded up doing it through Synaptic.

At least some other 3rd parties do sign their files. Does this mean that OO specifically doesn't?

I don't know the answer to that but your accessing a modified version of OO by another 3rd party launchpad. You must have put that launchpad url in your apt source list or clicked on install OO3 in Ubuntu tweak or somewhere else. You wouldn't have gotten this update unless you created a access point,

So, did you got the key for OOo via launchpad?

Thanks!

No. Never did find one.

No. Never did find one.
I got it work by

sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
and type "yes" when it came to OOo.

I'm sure there's a better way.

There are a couple of ways to make it work (as always with Linux/Unix.) But the question was whether or not there is a public key that can be used to validate the updates. The lack of any responses seems to suggest that the answer to that is no, unfortunately.

[juanbretti]

I've tried to Google-it, but without any luck.

Strange.

i know i'm a little late, but i just wanted to post that i was not able to find a pgp key for the OOo repository either. I'm assuming they dont have one.

I haven't found the PGP key.
I've just de-select the repository from the "Source" list.

Sorry, I don't have the solution :(

The answer is on

I got the key from
http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x60D11217247D1CFF
(note: I had to open port 11371 outbound on my firewall)

and imported it as per

Ok, but my recomendation is a different way to solve the PGP Keys problem.

here's a script:

Fixes the ppa links and adds the keys required!

[cbtengr]

The key can be found here:

Scroll down to this paragraph and follow instructions:


Right click HERE and "Save Link As..." the key file on your desktop. Go to the fourth tab, "Authentication", click the "Import Key File" button, navigate to the location were you've just saved the key file (File System/home/YOURUSERNAME/Desktop) and double click it. You will immediately see a new entry called "247D1CFF 2009-01-21 Launchpad PPA for OpenOffice.org Scribblers".
