Keyring problem

[Pierre Dartigues]

Hi,
I am using Ubuntu 23.10. I'd like to upgrade to 24.04LTS. I get this message whenever I try:

MyLaptop:~$ sudo apt install krename[sudo] password for pieter:
E: Conflicting values set for option Signed-By regarding source https://deb.opera.com/opera-stable/ stable: /usr/share/keyrings/opera-browser.gpg != /usr/share/keyrings/opera.gpg
E: The list of sources could not be read.

What can I do to correct this problem?

Thanks for replies!
Pierre

What's in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ that relates to opera? Post those file contents here, please.

[Pierre Dartigues]

It seems not to be possible to do that. I copied those files to a temporary directory, then tried to upload them for attachments. I get the message "invalid file" when trying.

Is there any means to make it possible nevertheless? I will try to get the contents of the files.

[Pierre Dartigues]

I think I managed nevertheless, see below:

opera.list :

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/opera.gpg] https://deb.opera.com/opera-stable/ stable non-free

opera.list.distUpgrade :

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/opera.gpg] https://deb.opera.com/opera-stable/ stable non-free

opera.list.save :

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/opera.gpg] https://deb.opera.com/opera-stable/ stable non-free

opera-archive.list

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/opera-browser.gpg] https://deb.opera.com/opera-stable/ stable non-free

opera-stable.list :

# This file makes sure that Opera Browser is kept up-to-date# as part of regular system upgrades


# deb https://deb.opera.com/opera-stable/ stable non-free #Opera Browser (final releases) disabled on upgrade to jammy disabled on upgrade to mantic

opera-stable.list.distUpgrade :

# This file makes sure that Opera Browser is kept up-to-date# as part of regular system upgrades


# deb https://deb.opera.com/opera-stable/ stable non-free #Opera Browser (final releases) disabled on upgrade to jammy disabled on upgrade to mantic

opera-stable.list.save :

# This file makes sure that Opera Browser is kept up-to-date# as part of regular system upgrades


# deb https://deb.opera.com/opera-stable/ stable non-free #Opera Browser (final releases) disabled on upgrade to jammy disabled on upgrade to mantic

would remove all of those files and try again.

Opera is a terrible browser which no one should be using anyway.

[Pierre Dartigues]

I thought so. I tried to uninstall Opera but that is not easy neither maybe because of those files. But root is owner of those files and I cannot delete them just like that. I looked up the command

chown

and changed ownership to myself but that did not open the possibility to delete those files.
What can I do?
I went into the directory

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/

,

# sudo su
#chown pieter opera*

and then tried to delete those files using the file manager. Not possible. What can I do?

[currentshaft]

sudo find /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ -type f -name "opera*" -exec rm -fv {} \;

I thought so. I tried to uninstall Opera but that is not easy neither maybe because of those files.

You mean this won't work??

sudo apt remove opera-stable

Please show that return.

I also agree with currentshaft>>>"Opera is a terrible browser"

[Pierre Dartigues]

No, this iswhat happens:

Asus:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# sudo apt remove opera-stableE: Conflicting values set for option Signed-By regarding source https://deb.opera.com/opera-stable/ stable: /usr/share/keyrings/opera-browser.gpg != /usr/share/keyrings/opera.gpg
E: The list of sources could not be read.

I am logged in as root while doing that...
