Apper has now run updating my system without any warnings. I am surprised because after making the changes to sources.list I tried to update and I still got the warnings. I then restarted the computer and tried again and still got the warnings. Then I emailed the debian users list and after getting Johnathan Dowland's reply but without doing anything to the system I tried again and this time there were no warnings and it updated fine. I have pasted the output from apt-key list below but imagine is no longer relevant. Thanks v much for all the help on this.
The reason I tried to update is because I have not been able to transfer music files from my debian computer to my android phone and I thought it possible that an update might help. Unfortunately it has not helped so I am going to post a new thread. I really do appreciate the help and try and google stuff and work it out as much as possible before posting a thread, Steve root@debian:/home/steve# apt-key list /etc/apt/trusted.gpg -------------------- pub 2048R/94558F59 2012-06-25 [expires: 2015-06-25] uid Spotify Public Repository Signing Key < operati...@spotify.com> /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-squeeze-automatic.gpg ------------------------------------------------------------ pub 4096R/473041FA 2010-08-27 [expires: 2018-03-05] uid Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (6.0/squeeze) < ftpmas...@debian.org> /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-squeeze-stable.gpg --------------------------------------------------------- pub 4096R/B98321F9 2010-08-07 [expires: 2017-08-05] uid Squeeze Stable Release Key < debian-rele...@lists.debian.org> /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-wheezy-automatic.gpg ----------------------------------------------------------- pub 4096R/46925553 2012-04-27 [expires: 2020-04-25] uid Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (7.0/wheezy) < ftpmas...@debian.org> /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-wheezy-stable.gpg -------------------------------------------------------- pub 4096R/65FFB764 2012-05-08 [expires: 2019-05-07] uid Wheezy Stable Release Key < debian-rele...@lists.debian.org> root@debian:/home/steve# On Thu, Jun 18, 2015 at 1:36 PM, Jonathan Dowland <j...@debian.org> wrote: > On Thu, Jun 18, 2015 at 01:22:36PM +0100, Steve Greig wrote: > > I put a # in front of 2 of the lines as I think you suggested in order to > > comment them out but I am still getting the same problem.
