This completely prevents me from installing ROS (and related) packages. While running sudo apt install I see the following error: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! Īnd also sometimes (just an example, could be any package or ROS version): E: Failed to fetch 404 Not Found They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. While running sudo apt update I see the following error: W: GPG error: InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 5523BAEEB01FA116Īnd or: W: Failed to fetch The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY F42ED6FBAB17C654 Here’s an example of how we found the right information to verify the open-source encryption utility, VeraCrypt.When trying to install packages, I'm seeing errors similar to the following: Err:1 /main amd64 amd64 0.13.3-0xenial-20190320-132757-0800 It sometimes feels like a scavenger hunt you just have to keep at it. It’s important to note that it’s not always obvious where these things are, but often you can find them on the release notes on the developer’s site. In order to verify software with GnuPG, you first need three things: For the purposes of this tutorial, you only need to have the GnuPG software installed. Note: you do not need your own key to get started verifying, nor do you need to set up PGP for your email. This guide will not cover how to install and set-up GPG, but have a look at this excellent guide by EFF to get started. Windows users should use a program called GPG4Win Mac users have a choice of using GPGTools, or the minified GnuPG suite. The best way to verify software is to use PGP (Pretty Good Privacy), with its software implementation, GPG. You can avoid downloading and infecting your device with duped software by verifying the authenticity of the source. Other times, malicious users can infect your device with malware masquerading as the software you presumed you downloaded. What will happen to you if you don’t verify your software, you ask? Well, sometimes nothing. Open source software verification is a straightforward process that should only take a few minutes, but can save you from a headache in the future. We should always be critical before installing “indie” software, but if the project is open source, it’s built around the notion that the software’s source code should be made public and subject to external audits and verification. However, you may want to use software built by developers who haven’t joined Apple’s or Microsoft’s developer program, and therefore won’t be able to sign their software in the canonical way. If you are downloading software by verified individual developers or an organization like Apple or Microsoft, the verification process is handled for you. Verifying software should be your first priority whenever you download a new piece of software.
