Update Manager error: Untrusted packages

[Ben_G_9C9]

A few weeks ago, i installed Ubuntu Desktop 10.10. I installed several of my previously used programs and am now having trouble with the update manager. It refuses to download updates; insisting that it does not trust the source. The details in the error message indicate that the problem is with a package for Banshee Media Player.

I am posting a link for a video I made that displays this problem.

Go to Software Center > Edit > Software Sources and change your server to Main. Now open terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and try these commands and post the output


sudo apt-get update


sudo apt-get upgrade

The UPDATES command failed.

The UPGRADE Command finished normally.

I think it is something related to the GPG keys however it is referring to hostname resolution.

You can try adding the missing GPG by


gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 16126D3A3E5C1192


gpg --export --armor 16126D3A3E5C1192 | sudo apt-key add -

The second one should say OK.

Now try


sudo apt-get update

[Ben_G_9C9]

The first two codes worked without error. The Second one did simply say "OK".

On the UPDATE command, I got the same error.

The error messages you have in the last two boxes are minor problems with the "update" process, not the "upgrade" process. The error statements mean only that the referenced repositories have not been located by your ISP's address resolver. Indeed, they may not exist. To suppress the error messages, edit the </etc/apt/sources.list> file so as to ignore the lines containing the bad addresses (that is, put a # in front of the line(s) to "comment it(them) out").

The upgrade process will go along just fine if (when) you issue the "sudo apt-get upgrade" or "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" command in the terminal whether or not you comment out the bad addresses.

Running "update" again may not tell you that there are new updates available because it has already told you about the ones found when you first typed an update command long ago. There may not be any newer ones since then. Just go ahead and upgrade with either of those commands.
