I've just attempted to run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade on my Ubuntu box, but am getting the following error... WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! librdbmspp php5-ioncube-loader sw-libboost-date-time1.49.0 sw-libboost-system1.49.0 sw-libboost-filesystem1.49.0 sw-libboost-program-options1.49.0 sw-libboost-regex1.49.0 sw-libboost-serialization1.49.0 sw-libpoco

I've tried running... $ sudo apt-key update $ sudo apt-get update ... as found in this question, but I'm still getting the error.

Can anyone help, please?

  • What are the sources in /etc/apt/sources.list? – Nattgew Jun 04 '14 at 15:37
  • @Nattgew - Repo details added – TobyG Jun 05 '14 at 08:43
  • Try dpkg-reconfigure -a as root (it may be dpkg --reconfigure -a) – Marco Scannadinari Jun 05 '14 at 09:21
  • Can you post the full output from apt-get? The output you posted is just a "harmless" warning (either because Plesk packages are not signed, or because you do not have the key). There must be another reason apt-get is failing. – bain Jun 05 '14 at 10:38
  • @MarcoScannadinari - When I run dpkg-reconfigure -a I get various Package 'xxx' is not installed and no info is available. errors (one at a time, but have installed one that was missing, & now getting another). – TobyG Jun 09 '14 at 10:52
  • @bain Full contents of the output can be seen here... http://pastebin.com/sEtBK8fn – TobyG Jun 09 '14 at 11:02
  • I see you have Plesk, there is some bug with it that results in unauthenticated packages (possibly they do not sign their packages), see this thread. – bain Jun 09 '14 at 11:32
  • What is the output of apt-cache policy librdbmspp? – bain Jun 09 '14 at 11:35
  • @bain - output of apt-cache policy librdbmspp added. I couldn't spot anything I understood as linked to this issue in the thread you linked to (sorry, fairly inexperienced with package control). Thanks for you help so far though. – TobyG Jun 09 '14 at 12:20

    The output shows that package comes from Plesk. I would bet the rest of the ones that are unauthenticated do too. So I wouldn't worry about it, it is Plesk's problem, just say "y" to Install these packages without verification [y/N]? and it will do the upgrade. – bain Jun 09 '14 at 12:54
  • You might want to ask on the Plesk forum and/or report it as a bug to them. You are not the first person here to run into this issue of the Plesk packages not being authenticated. – bain Jun 09 '14 at 12:57
  • Thanks for your help @bain. Will check the packages are all Plesk ones & install anyway – TobyG Jun 10 '14 at 09:02

http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?297194-Cant-update-11-5-30-on-Ubuntu-bind9-fail! shows that this issue can be caused by AppArmor not being disabled.

From http://kb.parallels.com/112903:

Symptoms

AppArmor is a security tool that uses name-based mandatory access controls to restrict or confine the system access of “at risk” applications. AppArmor is not supported by Parallels Plesk Panel. Sometimes AppArmor can interfere with Plesk installation or functionality.

Resolution

Disable AppArmor using the following commands:

/etc/init.d/apparmor stop
/etc/init.d/apparmor teardown
update-rc.d -f apparmor remove
