Description Thorsteinn A. Malmjursson 2012-02-11 17:12:26 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.4) 
OS:                Linux

Apper is complaining during updates that packages are unsigned - the process allows you to click a yes/no box to proceed, but when you click "yes", it simply loops, starts the whole process, and asks you the same question again and again, every time you click yes. It only goes away, when you say no.
 
The fact that it's complaining about the unsigned packages wouldn't normally be a problem - except that none of the packages I was trying to install (27 updates) were unsigned.  
 
I know this because I promptly processed the same set of updates via a cli using  apt-get update  and apt-get upgrade, and they all went through without complaint.  
 
Would someone please be kind enough to look into why apper is mistakenly flagging packages as unsigned, when they are properly signed?

I did not attempt to reproduce as I processed the updates via CLI after apper failed to do so.

Hello,

I can confirm the bug, it is entirely reproducible with latest Apper version 0.7.1. Installing unsigned packages (e.g. from a private repository) is just impossible and blocks installing other packages as well. Please fix.

can you please test with pkcon :D
It's been a while I don't have unsigned repos so I don't see this..

Comment 3 Milos Jakubicek 2012-03-01 14:21:55 UTC

Just tried with pkcon, it works fine -- pkcon asks once whether I want to install an untrusted package and after confirming that does the job. So it looks like it will be indeed an Apper bug :)

thanks I'll try to simulatwe that and see if I can fix

I can confirm this bug too, and thanks for the advice on sudo-apt get update and sudo-apt get upgrade so that I can update Kubuntu. I've added a bug report on this issue as well.

Ok, I've just added an untrusted repo, and asked to install a package from there,
it prompted me with the untrusted thing and then started to download...
Can someone explains to me how to reproduce this?
(which repo did you use and so on?)
Thanks
