Launchpad itself

My packages cannot be authenticated during install

Asked by Robert Tari

Hello,

I have successfully uploaded and built the "xeroxscanner" package. To test the installation, I added my ppa with "add-apt-repository ppa:robert-tari/xerox", did an "apt-get update" and called "apt-get install xeroxscanner" which gives me the

"WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
xeroxscanner"

message.

I tried "apt-key update", adding the ppa again, but no change...

As far as I can tell, my "~/.gnupg/secring.gpg" contains my ppa key, and "apt-key list" shows the repository signature is installed properly. Can anyone tell me what might be wrong here?

Thanks

Your PPA's signing key is only generated once you upload the first package, so if you're unlucky then your first package will be published initially unsigned. The next upload will be signed correctly, and cause the existing xeroxscanner package to be signed too.
