Still no luck. I keep getting warnings related to non-available public keys:
W: GPG-Fehler: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/desktop/Ubuntu_16.04 Release: Die folgenden Signaturen konnten nicht überprüft werden, weil ihr öffentlicher Schlüssel nicht verfügbar ist: NO_PUBKEY 4ABE1AC7557BEFF9
W: The repository 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/desktop/Ubuntu_16.04 Release' is not signed.
N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
Hi, I stumbled across the same issue weeks ago - owncloud moved sources away from Suse and to their own download-servers. The owncloud download page seems unavailable right now, but the download-server is up and running.
So just edit or create a file "owncloud.list" in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and insert the following line: deb http://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/Ubuntu_16.04/ /
next fetch and add the release-key to apt keyring (type next line in terminal): wget -qO - http://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/Ubuntu_16.04/Release.key | sudo apt-key add -
now apt update & apt upgrade will work (but you will see a warning about "weak digest algorithm (SHA-1)" when running from command line)
thanks for your help! It's still the same weird behavior: When I do the exact steps you described above, apt-key claims having successfully imported the key. However, when I run apt-key list there isn't any key related to owncloud. Instead I'm getting a notice that there's a key missing a valid User-ID.
No idea what's going wrong here, since gpg e.g. did import the public key without any errors.
after fiddling for a while with that problem, I finally moved that freaking key to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ and voilá - it worked. This is really weird.
Hi, great to hear you solved it! I have the same problem, and I would like to know exactly what file you moved to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ and how you did it. The description was a bit too brief for my level of knowledge. Thanks, MĂĄrten
what I did was: wget -qO - http://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/Ubuntu_16.04/Release.key followed by: sudo mv Release.key /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/owncloud-client.key
I'm sure that's not the way it was intended to be, but in the other hand: if I import a key from the web I also have to trust the server to a certain degree.
Dear all. I had the same problem with the Release key. I could find that I had a previous Release.key in my home directory when I downloaded the new one. By default, Ubuntu does not overwrite the old Release.key, but creates a Release.key.1 When we import the new key with apt--key add - < Release.key we are importing the old one and that is why it complains on update.
Thanks for posting this. Have noticed that this is a quite popular issue as people don't see that they are repeatedly downloading the file with a number attached. So provided a fix to the OBS guys here:
This issue drives me crazy. I tried to follow all steps mentioned above - and still I get the same error message. I've just upgraded to ubuntu 16.10 - what are the latest recommendations?
The weird thing is that my apt-key list command seems not to display key IDs, but only fingerprints. So I don't know whether these keys have to be deleted as well - and how to do it.
as this looks like an user issue try to ask such questions at a community dedicated to your used distro. They are more familiar with pitfalls during that process and can give better support for such issues.
I'm closing here for know as the initial issue is fixed and all known workarounds are posted.
