I get the following error when i do sudo apt-get update  W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net precise Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6AF0E940624A220   I tried following ways after reading various questions here and also by googling.  I tried  sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6AF0E1940624A220   It did not help. I also tried  sudo gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys   thinking port 11371(default) may be blocked due to firewall.  I also tried to reset everything as follows  sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf sudo apt-get update &amp;&amp; sudo apt-get upgrade   still i get the same error or get update. Any other possible solution I can try?

I did: sudo apt-get update  I got this: Reading package lists... Done E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock. It is held by process 1131 (packagekitd)  N: Be aware that removing the lock file is not a solution and may break your system.  E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/  I used to just remove the lock file, but I've never seen that note before (did it break my system?)?? What do I do?

I'm writing a program that needs to download GPG keys for various distributions to do unattended net installs. To do this securely and in an automated way, I need to download the key via HTTPS, which means "gpg --recv-keys" isn't an option. Other distributions (e.g., Fedora) make their keys available on their websites via HTTPS (e.g., ), but I can't find the Ubuntu key file anywhere on ubuntu.com. Does anyone know where I can get it via HTTPS?

I've noticed that running apt-get update recently has resulted in quite a few ppa's returning "403 Forbidden".  In and effort to clean them up I had a look:  W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/binary-amd64/Packages  403  Forbidden  W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/binary-i386/Packages  403  Forbidden  E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.   The strange things is, if I copy these URLs into my browser I can access the files just fine.  Why would apt-get report "403 Forbidden" if they're still accessible?  I tried re-adding the ppa through add-apt-repository which downloads the signing key again, and it still reported "403 Forbidden".

Hi everyone I'm attempting to install spotify, I've been running linux for less than 24 hours so please cut me some slack if this seems trivial. Here is a link to the webpage  and the example script.         Add this line to your list of repositories by editing your /etc/apt/sources.list    deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free    If you want to verify the downloaded packages, you will need to add our public key  sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 94558F59    Run apt-get update  sudo apt-get update    Install spotify!      sudo apt-get install spotify-client      would someone be nice enough to walk me through this? I'm not even sure where to start.

So I am on my college network which requires me to sign in to the browser before I start using the internet. I do so succesfully but on a clean install of Ubuntu, when I try to do sudo apt update, I get the following output:  $ sudo apt update Get:1 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease [2,847 B] Err:1 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease                     Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network require authentication?)

PS: This question is not similar to other threads as their solutions do not seem to work on mine        As I have found out, this problem is happening only to me, not others on the college network. Despite setting up the network according to instructions, this still happens. Any more help would be appreciated  EDIT: So as it turns out, 50% of us in the college are facing this issue, while 50% aren't despite having no issues with the hardware and sudo apt update before the last week. Thanks to @David Foerster for helping me throughout all this time.  As it stands, the issue has been raised to our college's networking department :)

I am unable to add a repository via the command line on Ubuntu 14.04. Apt-get works perfectly fine, and I am able to update the system. I have configured my /etc/apt/apt.config file as follows:  Acquire::http::proxy "http://&lt;username&gt;:&lt;password&gt;@&lt;proxy address&gt;:&lt;port&gt;/";   For example, when trying to add the repository for y-ppa-manager, I receive:  add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager'. Please check that the PPA name or format is correct.   If you need any more info., feel free to ask.

Possible Duplicate:             TL;DR: sudo apt-get install ... saying "Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."   The problem  I was trying to get the WebApps feature for PP and QQ following .  I ran the sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webapps/preview command to add the repository, but i got a connection error. Since I know my current ISP gives a shaky connection, I tried again and sure enough, it worked.  Then I ran sudo apt-get install unity-webapps-preview, but I realized we had to update apt-get first, so I hit Ctrl + C to stop it. Then I ran sudo apt-get update which worked w/o a fuss, but when I ran sudo apt-get install unity-webapps-preview again later, it showed an error message. Here's the dump:  Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:  The following packages have unmet dependencies:  unity-webapps-preview : Depends: xul-ext-unity but it is not going to be installed                          Depends: xul-ext-websites-integration but it is not going to be installed                          Depends: xul-ext-webaccounts but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.   I think this might be because of me interrupting the earlier command. It hadn't got a chance to output anything, though — I stopped it pretty fast.  What I tried  Commands  I tried these:-   sudo apt-get install --fix-broken sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get -f install   But even after running sudo apt-get upgrade after every try, none of them worked.  Purging  I tried purging the repository, but that didn't work either. First, I got the package using sudoapt-get install ppa-purgeand then tried to purge the WebApps repo usingsudo ppa-purge ppa:webapps/preview`.  Manually installing dependencies  If you look at the error dump carefully, it says:     Depends: xul-ext-unity but it is not going to be installed   Depends: xul-ext-websites-integration but it is not going to be installed   Depends: xul-ext-webaccounts but it is not going to be installed   So I tried installing them manually. I ran sudo apt-get install xul-ext-unity, but got this:     Depends: xul-ext-websites-integration but it is not going to be installed   Breaks: firefox (>= 15.+) but 16.0~b6+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~mfn4 is to be installed   I have no idea what the second part means, but I tried resolving the first. Running sudo apt-get install xul-ext-websites-integration gave:     xul-ext-websites-integration : Breaks: firefox (>= 15.+) but 16.0~b6+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~mfn4 is to be installed   As a last resort, I tried sudo apt-get install xul-ext-webaccounts, but that gave the sane message too:     Breaks: firefox (>= 14.+) but 16.0~b6+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~mfn4 is to be installed   What does Breaks: firefox (&gt;= 14.+) but 16.0~b6+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~mfn4 is to be installed mean?  Research  I tried searching , looking at a couple of , looking at  and searching on AU, but to no avail. Help would be appreciated.

Any install that I'm trying through the Software Center is telling me:  Requires installation of untrusted packages: The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.  I did an apt-get update from the command line, then removed the software sources that the keys were bad from (PPAs I added myself), and unchecked them in the software sources for software center, but to no avail.  I can't install anything from software center anymore - only&gt; from the command line with apt-get. Is uninstalling/installing the only option?  I don't want to break other PPAs that I have.
