Somehow you broke the xpra repo. These files give:

The error was misleading, the problem was with the GPG signature! (fixed)

not working for me - in Ubuntu Bionic:

$ aug

Oops, try now. I deleted all the signatures to force the scripts to re-create them... then I forgot to push the update!

Thanks!

@Antoine, again today (just now)


Thu, 10 Dec 2020 07:08:59 GMT - Antoine Martin:

@stdedos: please post the exact error, there was an issue for a few days: #2972, but I have updated all my Ubuntu test systems successfully today, without errors or even warnings.

FYI once again, the error given by the tool was very misleading: the signature was fine this time, it was the Release data format that was wrong (because the release scripts now run with python3... and binary strings are just a pain with python3)


Thu, 10 Dec 2020 09:17:17 GMT - stdedos:

It was the same:

$ aug
[...]
E: The repository 'https://xpra.org/beta bionic Release' is no longer signed.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

That's why I didn't bother copying the same information / opening a new ticket.

However, today everything appears good :-)
