Package: synaptic Version: 0.84.5 Severity: wishlist Occasionally, repository owners change related information, keys, etc. This generally causes apt to issue an error to the user, such as:
... Reading package lists... Done E: Repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/<author>/<package>/ubuntu disco InRelease' changed its 'Label' value from '<some old long label>' to '<some new long label>' N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details. ... When using "apt" on the command line, the system asks: Do you want to accept these changes and continue updating from this repository? [y/N] Synaptic will report the error, but does nothing to allow the user to accept changes. The older "apt-get" tool does the same unless a --allow-releaseinfo- change update" switch is given: sudo apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update I suggest an enhancement to allow synaptic to somehow "accept the changes" for the affected repository(s). -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers disco-updates APT policy: (500, 'disco-updates'), (500, 'disco-security'), (500, 'disco'), (100, 'disco-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.0.0-32-generic (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages synaptic depends on: ii hicolor-icon-theme 0.17-2 ii libapt-inst2.0 1.8.3 ii libapt-pkg5.0 1.8.3 ii libc6 2.29-0ubuntu2 ii libc6-udeb [libc6] 2.30-0ubuntu2 ii libept1.5.0 1.1+nmu3build1 ii libgcc1 1:9.1.0-2ubuntu2~19.04 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.38.1+dfsg-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.60.4-0ubuntu0.19.04.1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.8-1ubuntu1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.42.4-6ubuntu0.1 ii libstdc++6 9.1.0-2ubuntu2~19.04 ii libvte-2.91-0 0.56.2-1ubuntu1~19.04.1 ii libxapian30 1.4.10-1 ii policykit-1 0.105-25 Versions of packages synaptic recommends: ii libgtk2-perl 2:1.24992-1build2 ii xdg-utils 1.1.3-1ubuntu2 Versions of packages synaptic suggests: ii apt-xapian-index 0.47ubuntu13 pn deborphan <none> pn dwww <none> pn menu <none> ii software-properties-gtk 0.97.11 pn tasksel <none> -- no debconf information
