Debian Jessie - apt-get Failed to fetch ..

[artomason]

I read over https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian and followed the steps. When I run "sudo apt-get update", apt returns the following errors

Err https://dl.winehq.org jessie/main amd64 Packages
Err https://dl.winehq.org jessie/main i386 Packages

W: Failed to fetch https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debia ... 4/Packages
W: Failed to fetch https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debia ... 6/Packages

I have double and triple checked everything, but I'm not sure what is going on.

Here is my sources.list

I'm not entirely sure that covers my issue, and I did see this bug report prior.

The bug report seems to suggest that the user was able to get past the 'apt-get update' part of the guide, but experiences an Error 404 when trying to install using 'apt-get install' due to server side caching issues.

On my side 'apt-get update' doesn't even acknowledge that the repository exists. The error lines I posted in my original topic are from the 'apt-get update' process which would suggest I might have "fat fingered" something during the setup, but when I check over the sources.list, everything seems to be in place.

Before anyone asks, I did download the key. Something 'wget' had complained about was the key being invalid (Unknown Signer), which required a work around.

That doesn't make sense. Wget just downloads the file; it doesn't check the validity of the key. Are you sure it wasn't apt-key complaining?

Nobody else has reported needing a "workaround" to install the key and AFAIK you shouldn't need one, so my guess would be something went wrong with that. Try downloading and installing it again.

Apparently it does in Debian Jessie 8.3 lol.

If I use this instead, the certificate downloads without an issue. Although I'm not sure that this had anything to due with the error I'm getting.

Code: Select all

wget --no-check-certificate https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key

I'm not sure what I need to do in order to pull more information, admittedly I haven't used Linux other than experimenting with it in the past.

Wget doesn't do that when I download the key on openSUSE, and no other Debian user has reported this as a problem. Maybe you need to update the certificates on your system?

[artomason]

Well it seems that was the start of my issues. I was missing ca-certificates from the Debian repository, something that was not automatically installed during a minimal setup of Debian 8 + Gnome. After I installed the ca-certificates and OpenSSL package I was able to issue update-ca-certificates which fixed the issue. It seems that was also causing a problem with apt-get.
