Yes, it looks like this error message could be improved a bit. Thanks for the report and for doing your due diligence.
Ah, turns out the reporting is correct, 12 packages didn't get updated, the other 9 did. The misleading part is the "All" at the beginning of the sentence. I'll fix that shortly.
Right. @basepi The "already up-to-date" leads on to think that those packages were already up-to-date when they were updated? Certainly the message confused the heck out of me. A reference to the packages not being authenticated as a reason for fail, if sale detects that, would be nice too.
Thanks.
Hi,
Preamble:
Ubuntu 12.04.2 I have this stanza that this pertains to, in case this info is needed.
Issue:
I have found that if a client/minion doesn't have the gpg key for a repository you get this somewhat cryptic error.
After finding this issue, I removed iftop and removed the trusted.gpg file to reproduce this error for the below debug output.
Solution?
So I think with A) a little better error message,
or/and B) offer an option to ignore authenticity of a repository/package.edit: Just found skip_verify, d0H. So it's more just a error message that helps the admin identify the problem easily.I hope this is useful.
Thanks for the great software.
