As you know, the majority of Debian-подобных дистрибутивов обновляются следующими двумя командами: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade. Дистрибутив Sparky Linux - не исключение из этого правила. Однако, при обычном обновлении системы команда apt-get update can give out an unforeseen mistake:

"https: //repo.sparkylinux.org core InReleaSE The following signatures cannot be checked, since the open key is not available: no_pubkey ... "

The reason for the error no_pubkey is the change of the GPG key that signed files in the repository. The same public key is used on the client computer to check the signatures of packages before installing them.

Method of solution

It consists in downloading and installing the New public key that signed the repository packages.

curl -fsSL https://repo.sparkylinux.org/sparky.gpg.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg

After the key is added, you can perform ordinary commands to update versions of the distribution packages.
Now they will be performed without errors:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
