My All servers are on AWS and facing same issue in multiple servers.unable to update server.I have spent manny days on troubleshooting this issue.but did not find solution. but at Last i got this command echo 'APT::Sandbox::User "root";' >/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00temp it works and now i can update repository. Q.1 Why i have to run this command ? anyone know exact reason behind this. Q.2 Is this a type of security hole ? FYI @David Kalnischkies @mila nuts -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577926 Title: apt-key works fine, yet apt fails with "Could not execute 'apt-key'" Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Apt can fail to verify a Release file which verifies just fine when calling apt-key directly. Please advise how i can supply further debug information to help fix the underlying bug. Expected: apt-get should only report that a repository is not signed when no such signature was found. If a signature was in fact successfully acquired but not verified, apt-get should report failure to verify instead. apt-get should have a meaningful error message when calling apt-key fails. Bonus: Calling apt-key should not fail when the same thing works fine on command line. A reference to "Debug::Acquire::gpgv" should be in apt-secure(8) documentation.
