Source: simple-cdd
Version: 0.6.5
Severity: important
In /usr/share/simple-cdd/tools/mirror/reprepro, a repository is
initialized to mirror your target distributions, and its "distributions"
configuration file contains lines like:
VerifyRelease: ${verify_release_keys}
This basically tells reprepro to *verify* the Release files when
assembling the mirror, using the key listed in ${verify_release_keys};
that variable is constructed by dynamically extracting keys from
simple-cdd's keyring, which defaults to:
/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg
On Stretch, this file contains the following expired wheezy key:
pub rsa4096 2012-05-08 [SC] [expired: 2019-05-07]
ED6D 6527 1AAC F0FF 15D1 2303 6FB2 A1C2 65FF B764
uid [ expired] Wheezy Stable Release Key <debian-rele...@lists.debian.org>
Since a single expired key in a VerifyRelease line is enough for
reprepro to refuse to perform any verification, any image creation
fails; it doesn't matter what distribution your image targets:
ERROR reprepro: updating package lists: VerifyRelease condition
'6FB2A1C265FFB764|8B48AD6246925553|...'
ERROR reprepro: updating package lists: (To use it anyway, append it with a
'!' to force usage).
ERROR reprepro: updating package lists: There have been errors!
ERROR reprepro failed with exit code: 255
Removing the key from /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg of
course fixes the issue, but a more proper workaround involves passing
simple-cdd a dedicated, pruned keyring:
cp /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg ~/
apt-key --keyring ~/debian-archive-keyring.gpg del
ED6D65271AACF0FF15D123036FB2A1C265FFB764
simple-cdd [...] --keyring ~/debian-archive-keyring.gpg [...]
A proper patch to /usr/share/simple-cdd/tools/mirror/reprepro would
probably involve checking each key's expiration date, and appending "!"
to it if necessary.
