dell.archive.canonical.com invalid signature

Hi, I've been having the following error:

$ sudo apt update
...
Err:23 http://dell.archive.canonical.com/updates bionic-dell Release.gpg
The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG F9FDA6BED73CDC22 Canonical Archive Automatic Signing Key

According to https://askubuntu.com/a/650051/969556  I should contact the maintainer, but I'm more into the idea that Dell should go and talk to Canonical about that.

Also, I do not recall messing around with the apt sources lately. They have been working just fine for a long time until now.

Any idea how to solve it?

Same here. I'm so glad this post popped up today. I've been having the issue for a few days now, and nothing seems to be working. I was starting to come to the same conclusion as you, but I'm still in the kinda-new-to-linux category, so I wasn't confident. One thing I noticed is that the dates at this link don't seem to be coincidental: http://dell.archive.canonical.com/updates/dists/bionic-dell/

The deb install is 2 years and 7 days old at this point. I've been getting this error for about a week. I wonder if some cert expired because they didn't renew it.

Edit: I emailed ftpmaster@canonical.com, but I got an auto-reply back that the address doesn't exist. Womp womp. I guess reaching out to Dell is the next course of action.

Edit 2: I emailed security@canonical.com because it looks like they might actually be the ones who tackle this stuff. I'll report back with any update.

 

Edit 3: I got a response from Canonical. They are working on getting it fixed. They said "Thanks for letting us know - I got in contact with our OEM enablement team who manage this repo - someone is aware of the issue and is working on a fix, so hopefully this is resolved soon."

I'm getting this too - I've tried many things, but it does seem to be a repo issue

Even though it's hosted at dell.archive.canonical.com, I'd say dell is the maintainer in this case.

It could be a very possible cause .. certs expiration lately have caused several other issues in other company (cloud and not) ..

I have tried manually removing and refreshing /var/lib/apt/lists and I have tried manually adding the GPG keys for the relevant repos, but to no avail - presumably because they are not signed and therefore deemed to be invalid.

I have tweeted at DellUK to see if we can get some kind of response as posting in here does not seem to make anything happen...

I just bought a dell under ubuntu 18.04 and I did the update. But I don't understand how to remobilize the dell repositories. Could someone do a how-to ?

$  sudo apt update

W: Erreur de GPG : http://oem.archive.canonical.com/updates bionic-oem Release : Detached signature file '/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/oem.archive.canonical.com_updates_dists_bionic-oem_Release.gpg' is in unsupported binary format

That was 18 months ago, right?

Why is this even marked as solved? This is clearly still not working.

For any1 who's still facing this problem. I got it fixed with the help of this link: https://nrogap.medium.com/dell-repository-for-install-additional-drivers-on-ubuntu-4cf061640180

We need to add the keys for this repo manually using:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys {KEY_ID}

Key ID is basically the string next to the NO_PUBKEY in the error.

Hope this helps.
