No release file

Post by Arioch5 »

Following the instructions here on the forum I'm getting an apt error when trying to update after adding the repository.

Code: Select all

W: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/jcfp/nobetas/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file.
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.
I ran the repository add and the gpg key was added

Code: Select all

gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmpbfbtls4w/secring.gpg' created
gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmpbfbtls4w/pubring.gpg' created
gpg: requesting key 4BB9F05F from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: /tmp/tmpbfbtls4w/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
gpg: key 4BB9F05F: public key "Launchpad PPA for jcfp" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)
OK

Code: Select all

apt-get --version
apt 1.2.20 (amd64)
Supported modules:
*Ver: Standard .deb
*Pkg:  Debian dpkg interface (Priority 30)
 Pkg:  Debian APT solver interface (Priority -1000)

 S.L: 'deb-src' Debian source tree
 Idx: Debian Source Index
 Idx: Debian Package Index
 Idx: Debian Translation Index
 Idx: Debian dpkg status file
 Idx: Debian deb file
 Idx: Debian dsc file
 Idx: Debian control file
 Idx: EDSP scenario file

Code: Select all

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release:	16.04
Codename:	xenial

Is this an issue with the repository which is now being enforced with Xenial, or do I have something configured wrong?

Forget this, I found it. Squid-deb-proxy uses an acl and ppa's are not enabled by default. Which causes a horribly vague error message.

Thanks for letting us know. That 'repo does not have a Release file' thing tends to show up when there's some kind of client side network failure, I guess squid-deb-proxy preventing access to ppa.launchpad.net is a somewhat more creative version of that with the same effect.
