update error NO PUBKEY 54422A4B98AB5139

Seit einige Wochen bekomme ich beim updatekontrolle von Ubuntu 9.10. Folgen von Ratschläge die die Anweisungen von Ubuntu geben bringt mir bisher nichts. Kann einer mir sagen wie ich vorgehen soll um diesen Fehler zu beheben?

As is stated in the Forum Posting Guide, this is an international forum, so we expect our users to write in English so we can all understand it. If you can't write English, then either use Google Translate (or any other translation tool) or stick to the German part of this forum.

sorry your translator accidentally selected "german" instead "english" as target language, please retry again

and consider using another translator, at least the german output makes no sense

And now that I actually read it, the answer is very easy: go to www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads and grab the new key. All packages (and thus the repo) has been signed with a new key.

Sorry for choosing the wrong language in my question (German is also not my native language, I'm dutch). I've visited www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads and tried to do the things mentioned there and a little bit more.

My first step was downloading oracle-vbox.asc and execute the command sudo apt-key add oracle_vbox.asc. After starting the updateprogram the problem was still there. (Perhaps Itried the wrong key)
My second step was downloading and installing virtualbox-3.2_3.2.4-62467~Ubuntu~karmic_i386.deb but I became an error-message (Error: Conflicting with the installed packet 'virtualbox-3.1 (my translation from the Dutch message!!); installation did no succeed.
My third step was downloading and execute the command sudo apt-key add sun_vbox.asc. After starting the updateprogram the problem was still there.

Perhaps I did things in a wrong order, but computer logic is very, very difficult to me. It should be very fine if you could give me a step by step assignment what to do in which order ...

Graads.

virtualbox-3.2 requires to deinstall virtualbox-3.1first: this removes the program but won't remove your existing virtual machines

you may deinstall by using synaptic package mgr. from the gnome desktop (system -> administration -> synaptic translated from german debian system: sorry if wrong spelled or found in another place) ...
or do it from terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-3.1*

if apt key still in error: you can cut-n-paste the command given at the linux downloads page

Code: Select all

wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Not to mention that the key that you already have might conflict with the new one. Run 'sudo apt-key list' and check for the index entry of the key. Then remove that key with 'sudo apt-key del <key>'. E.g. this is the new key with the 'apt-key list' output:

Code: Select all

pub   1024D/98AB5139 2010-05-18
uid                  Oracle Corporation (VirtualBox archive signing key) <info@virtualbox.org>
sub   2048g/281DDC4B 2010-05-18

The index entry is 98AB5139. To remove the key, one would run this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-key del 98ab5139

It's not case senstive. Then apt-get update again to see if it helped.
