Ubuntu
apt package

can't install packages from http://ppa.launchpad.net

Asked by ilya dorman on 2010-12-10

Hi,
I get this at the end of any installation involving launchpad.net:
(I tried installing several different programs and using different servers)

W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 4EA3A911D48B8E25
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/dockbar-main/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/Release Unable to find expected entry deb-src/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Thanx

You will see your blueman PPA doesn't have a maverick folder, it only goes up to Lucid so it is of no value to you and should be deleted.

Yes, please rename the dist name. As you can see in
http://ppa.launchpad.net/blueman/ppa/ubuntu/dists/
the PPA doesn't publish any packages for maverick.

Provide an answer of your own, or ask ilya dorman for more information if necessary.
