Synaptic Package Manager error - osian - 06-26-2024

When i have opened up the Synaptic Package Manager and tried to update the software i keep getting the following error message:

Code:
W: https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/mozillateam/ppa/ubuntu/dists/noble/InRelease: Signature by key 0AB215679C571D1C8325275B9BDB3D89CE49EC21 uses weak algorithm (rsa1024)

Could someone help me out here please.

The messages are informational messages. They should not stop the update/upgrade process from completing successfully.

Even with these message, does your system update/upgrade complete ok ?

If your system does not update/upgrade please post the whole logs.
You may find it easier to use 'Install Updates' rather than Package Manager to do updates.

The solution is.:

Open a Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy/paste the following, then hit "Enter", then input your login password:

Code:
sudo apt upgrade -y

That's ok, these are not error messages, just notifications.
Nothing to worry about and no need to do anything special.

1. I still get the error message too. It is because some repositories are still under security upgrades, from RSA 1024 to RSA 4096.
This takes time. Some day it will be fixed.
2. Glad I could help!

Best regards, Șerban.

[SOLVED] Synaptic Package Manager error - osian - 06-28-2024

Well if i update() or upgrade from a terminal everything works fine. But if i try to use the Synaptic Package Manager i get the error message.
Suppose i'll have to live with that and mark this error message as solved?
So once again thanks for the help and advice both.

Re: Synaptic Package Manager error - stevef - 06-28-2024

I'd guess updating/upgrading is mostly done using a terminal or via 'Install Updates' and that Package Manager is mostly used for installing and removing applications.
Does Package Manager work ok on your system for installing and removing applications ?

It doesn't sound as though everything is working as you expect.
What exactly are you doing with Package Manager when you see these notifications ?
