Package: apt Version: 0.6.46.4 Severity: normal apt-get update fails with "gpgv unknown error" when system date is too old
I tried to install etch on a system with a bad date (something like 2000-01-05 10:23) and losed a lot of time before figuring that the aptitude (and apt-get) error was caused by that bad date. The message below come when executing "$ sudo aptitude -o Debug::Acquire::gpgv=true update" Prendre : 1 http://ftp2.fr.debian.org etch Release.gpg [378B] Atteint http://ftp2.fr.debian.org etch Release inside VerifyGetSigners gpgv path: /usr/bin/gpgv Keyring path: /etc/apt/trusted.gpg Preparing to exec: /usr/bin/gpgv /usr/bin/gpgv --status-fd 3 --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ftp2.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_Release.gpg /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp2.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_Release Read: [GNUPG:] ERRSIG 010908312D230C5F 17 2 00 1167941288 40 Read: [GNUPG:] ERRSIG A70DAF536070D3A1 17 2 00 1167941288 40 gpgv exited Err http://ftp2.fr.debian.org etch Release Prendre : 2 http://ftp2.fr.debian.org etch Release [74,4kB] inside VerifyGetSigners gpgv path: /usr/bin/gpgv Keyring path: /etc/apt/trusted.gpg Preparing to exec: /usr/bin/gpgv /usr/bin/gpgv --status-fd 3 --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ftp2.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_Release.gpg /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp2.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_Release Read: [GNUPG:] ERRSIG 010908312D230C5F 17 2 00 1167941288 40 Read: [GNUPG:] ERRSIG A70DAF536070D3A1 17 2 00 1167941288 40 gpgv exited Ign http://ftp2.fr.debian.org etch Release Atteint http://ftp2.fr.debian.org etch/main Packages/DiffIndex Atteint http://ftp2.fr.debian.org etch/main Sources/DiffIndex 74,8ko téléchargés en 1s (50,4ko/s) Lecture des listes de paquets...
