[SOLVED]Update error

[Mark_UK]

Hi, I followed the instructions to install FreeOffice into linux Mint at the following address..
https://www.freeoffice.com/en/service/t ... icks/linux
which are as follows...

sudo -i
wget -qO - https://shop.softmaker.com/repo/linux-repo-public.key | apt-key add -
echo "deb https://shop.softmaker.com/repo/apt stable non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/softmaker.list
apt update
apt install softmaker-freeoffice-2021

but later when update runs, it produces the following error...
W: https://shop.softmaker.com/repo/apt/dis ... /InRelease: Key is stored in legacy trusted.gpg keyring (/etc/apt/trusted.gpg), see the DEPRECATION section in apt-key(8) for details.

Have the installation instructions changed but have not yet been updated in the Tips & Tricks section?

Many thanks

Thanks for reporting this problem. This is just a warning which you can ignore. I have forwarded the details to our developer team.

The warning you are experiencing is due to changes in how apt stores the keys.

They are just warning and affects many other apt repositories.

They later versions of apt on linux mint stores the trusted gpg keys in the trusted.gpg.d directory, rather than in the /etc/apt/trusted.gpg file.

If you want to get rid of the warning safely, issue the following command if you get the warning after adding an apt repository:

Code: Select all

$ sudo cp /etc/apt/trusted.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d 

As the trusted.gpg file is cumulative, you can safely issue the command every time you get the warning.

Hi Pete,
Thanks for your reply. I tried your suggestion, however it returns the following..

cp: cannot stat '/etc/apt/trusted.gpg': No such file or directory

Now that you guys have let me know I can ignore the messages, I will do just that.

Thanks
