Regarding point #2 in comment #70: 2. Some people had bad files on the local box (through proxy or direct download) and for them the fix was sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists /var/lib/apt/lists.old ; sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/apt/lists/partial The issue of apt creating bad files on disk in /var/lib/apt/lists/ has been fixed in the quantal release of Ubuntu which will become Ubuntu 12.10. Details regarding the fix appear in this changelog: apt (0.9.7.5ubuntu2) quantal; urgency=low Merged from lp:~donkult/apt/experimental: [ David Kalnischkies ] * apt-pkg/contrib/strutl.cc: - support \n and \r\n line endings in ReadMessages [ Michael Vogt ] * lp:~mvo/apt/webserver-simulate-broken-with-fix346386: - merge fix for LP: #346386 I've tested that version of apt with the dummy-proxy provided by Colin Watson and I received the following message in a terminal after running apt-get update: W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com precise Release: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2 W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. After this I was able to use apt-get update again without having to clear the files in /var/lib/apt/lists. You may find some further information about this bug in bug 346386. We are currently working on getting this fix into the -proposed repository for 12.04 and a comment will be added to bug 346386 indicating when it is available and how to test it. I'll do some further research into update-manager's behavior if there are bad files in /var/lib/apt/lists and open a new bug as needed. There are likely some user interface improvements that should be made if index files are corrupt or fail to download. ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu Quantal) Status: Triaged = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24061 Title: GPG error with apt-get/aptitude/update-manager behind proxy (BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/24061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 24061] Re: GPG error with apt-get/aptitude/update-manager behind proxy (BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5)
The specific bug I am interested in is case 2 from comment 70: 2. Some people had bad files on the local box (through proxy or direct download) and for them the fix was sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists /var/lib/apt/lists.old ; sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/apt/lists/partial. This can happen because of common, transient network errors and I'm sure the black hats have ways of inducing or simulating such errors as well. The bug is NOT that Ubuntu doesn't notice that the files are bad. The bug is that when it notices that the files are bad, it responds only by rather quietly suspending updates from the repositories corresponding to the bad files. The BAD SIG error message does not even go anywhere that the user is going to see until they start investigating and try running command line tools instead of the GUI stuff. To me the obvious first step in fixing this is for the update manager to automatically apply the manual fix of clobbering the bad files in /var/lib/apt/lists, and if that doesn't work, wave a red flag at the user. The security implication that I see is that this bug represents a way for bad guys to block security updates to selected machines, possibly forever. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24061 Title: GPG error with apt-get/aptitude/update-manager behind proxy (BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/24061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The proposed workaround does not work if the connection is still being intercepted and returning invalid responses. It addresses point 2 of comment #70, but not the other four causes. I suggest that a challenge-response mechanism could help to detect intercepting proxies and provide better feedback to the user. Any feedback on the idea would be appreciated. When a BADSIG error occurs 1. Send a random string to a specific Ubuntu Web service. 2. Calculate a hash of the same string. 3. Compare the server response to the calculated hash. If a non-error response is received without the hash occuring anywhere in the response, the connection has been intercepted. 4. If it has been determined that the connection is being intercepted, the user can be alerted of the potential reason for the BADSIG error. If using a gui tool, the user can be guided to determine if the problem is an authentication issue (by opening a page in a browser) and given the opportunity to cancel the update or confirm the cause of the problem and retry. 5. If the same, or very similar response is received in future, we can discard the response and abort and optionally remind the user of the previous cause of the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24061 Title: GPG error with apt-get/aptitude/update-manager behind proxy (BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/24061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am on a university network that fake DNS responses to re-direct you to a login page before you are allowed to access the external network. This is a pretty common setup for wifi on e.g. airports, restaurants, hotels, etc. I hit this bug reliably if an apt-get update is run while I am connected to the network but not logged in. Presumably apt-get thinks it is fetching index files, but gets copies of the login page instead, which breaks the cache. It is possible that a lot of these bug reports are caused by Ubuntu's automatic update of the apt cache running while the user is on such a network. Apart from the annoyance, isn't this a security issue? Since Ubuntu default is to automatically update the package index without user request, one cannot be sure what kind of network the user is on when it happens. If it is an untrusted network there is obviously the risk of denial-of-service (breakage of the user's apt cache), if not worse (feed user fake data?). Isn't some kind of key-signature thing needed before any changes happens in the apt cache? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24061 Title: GPG error with apt-get/aptitude/update-manager behind proxy (BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/24061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

People who added to this bug report had a number of different issues. 1. Some people did not import the relevant keys. For them, something like sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys DB141E2302FDF932 solved their problem. 2. Some people had bad files on the local box (through proxy or direct download) and for them the fix was sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists /var/lib/apt/lists.old ; sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/apt/lists/partial 3. Some had bad cached content on a normal, by-passable proxy. For them, the fix is sudo aptitude -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True -o Acquire::BrokenProxy=true update 4. Some had transparent Proxy authentication problems, which cannot be fixed in ubuntu. (authenticating fixed it for the user) 5. Some had transparent proxy problems with bad cached content on the proxy, which can't be fixed in ubuntu. (changing the mirror, so that the url did not match what the proxy had cached, fixed this.

[Bug 24061] Re: GPG error with apt-get/aptitude/update-manager behind proxy (BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5)
As far as I can see, the problem here is that apt is inappropriately caching files that fail validation, rather than removing them and allowing them to be fetched again. Fixing that would probably be enough to consign this bug to the dustbin of history, which I'm sure would be welcomed by all concerned. I put a bit of effort into coming up with a reliable reproduction case for this bug. I've attached a 'dummy-proxy' script, which is a trivial Twisted server that can be used as an HTTP proxy; it listens on localhost:8080 and returns some junk HTML in response to every request. Run it in one terminal. In another terminal, run: chdist create captive-portal echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main' ~/.chdist/captive-portal/etc/apt/sources.list chdist apt-get captive-portal update # should complete successfully http_proxy=http://localhost:8080/ chdist apt-get captive-portal update # should fail chdist apt-get captive-portal update # now this fails with BADSIG ** Attachment added: simple proxy to help reproduce this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/24061/+attachment/2629686/+files/dummy-proxy ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Low = High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24061 Title: GPG error with apt-get/aptitude/update-manager behind proxy (BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/24061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I suspect that the exact causes of this have shifted over time. The two relevant cases in precise (at least assuming that my test case is sufficient) seem to be: InRelease renamed to Release despite signature failure IndexDiff files moved to /var/lib/apt/lists/ despite parse failure The latter is easily fixed by reordering pkgAcqDiffIndex::Done, I guess, but I'm puzzled by the former. In pkgAcqMetaIndex::Failed it appears to be deliberate: /* Always move the meta index, even if gpgv failed. This ensures * that PackageFile objects are correctly filled in */ So if an HTTP proxy returns some junk for anything you ask for, including an InRelease file that wouldn't exist if we were actually talking to the real archive, we'll save that as Release? This seems bizarre. Can we deal with the problem alluded to in that comment some other way? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24061 Title: GPG error with apt-get/aptitude/update-manager behind proxy (BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/24061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The idea is that even if the signature can't be checked (= key is not in the keyring) that we still use the Release file to decide which files to download (e.g. pdiffs/translations available?) and use the Hashsums for checking. The later doesn't provide a good trust path, but playing man- in-the-middle is a bit harder this way and we can detect download failures. The commits adding this should have some more reasons for it included (i don't have the source handy currently for quoting) So what we should do is discard the (In)Release file in some cases (bad signature) and keep it in others (key not in keyring). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24061 Title: GPG error with apt-get/aptitude/update-manager behind proxy (BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/24061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This happens to me if update-mangager starts before I've had a change to type the proxy password (pretty much every day in the office) It would be nice if apt would wipe the BADSIGs on a restart, so that I can get a fresh list after typing the proxy password without manually removing files in /var/lib/apt/lists/. I'm going to have to cron it otherwise. Why does it not overwrite BADSIGs with new ones? Alternatively I'm going to have to get update-manager to wait a bit until 10 minutes after login to start downloading. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24061 Title: GPG error with apt-get/aptitude/update-manager behind proxy (BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/24061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Robbie, why has this been triaged as Won't fix? this causes real problems for people trying to run Ubuntu on machines behind Squid proxies that they don't control (for example in a corporate or university environment). It seems to me that an appropriate fix would be for apt-get clean to actually remove the cached lists files, as well as the partial directory contents. At the moment, there's no apt-get command which properly cleans the downloaded files. As such, this is really a problem in Debian, not Ubuntu, and should be passed upstream. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24061 Title: GPG error with apt-get/aptitude/update-manager behind proxy (BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/24061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 24061] Re: GPG error with apt-get/aptitude/update-manager behind proxy (BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5)
I am using apt-cacher-ng on 10.04 and had this problem.
Things were complicated by me having forgotten about a file:-
cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80aptcacherng
Acquire::http { Proxy http://127.0.0.1:3142;; };
So I first removed this file such that I could have no apt-cacher-ng via
command line and turn on via synaptic settings network after the
following.
I then did:-
sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng/uburep/dists/*
sudo /etc/init.d/apt-cacher-ng restart
(thanks to Martin Forest above)
sudo apt-get clean
sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists /var/lib/apt/lists.old
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
(thanks to Oliver Stieber and others)
I have put some clean's in there as well.
I add this comment as having tried a variety of 'fixes' that didn't the above
worked for me.
Hope this helps someone.

So I assume the date of the landing page was compared against the date of the file in lists, but the date in one of the parts of the body or somewhere was used for the file date. so 1: dates of the multiple parts of the file should match, and this is not being tested for. 2: (should be fixed by the above/possibly) the date that used to check to see if an update is needed comes from a different request than the date of the actual file itself. it doesn't matter if the .gpg file is in partial or not, effect is still the same. touch -m on the file in partial, with a date before the file date, causes a new file to be fetched.

Ok. So I switched to using apt-cacher-ng for my caching and started to
see this bug again.
To fix this, just remove all the Sources, Packages and Translation files
from /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng (apt-cacher has the same issues)
directory. Example:
DIR=/var/cache/apt-cacher-ng
cd $DIR || exit 1
for file in Release Packages Sources Translation; do
find . -type f -name *$file* -exec rm {} \;
done
After that I would be able to run apt-get update and everything would be
fine.
Perhaps this bug should include apt-cacher and apt-cacher-ng as they are
both part of this problem and they need new logic to update those
control files mentioned above.

[Bug 24061] Re: GPG error with apt-get/aptitude/update-manager behind proxy (BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5)
This still exists. As mentioned in the duplicate https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/24234 it's been an issue for 5 years. The fix that works for me is stated by Geoff in the other bug sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=true Whether this works in all cases or not, I don't know. However, from an advocacy standpoint, regardless of who or what is at fault, it's a bad thing, probably frightening to newcomers. Perhaps ensuring that a message along with it would solve the problem. As it is, it's cryptic, giving no indication that it's a minor issue that will probably disappear in an hour Something along the lines of, after the error message, please try running sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=true, then run apt-get update again would be an explanation that newcomers can understand, one that would probably fix the issue, which will probably continue, since it often just seems to be a minor glitch, and not scare people off. -- GPG error with apt-get/aptitude/update-manager behind proxy (BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24061 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

But I hope the fine devs can find a way to better deal with broken proxies. This is a very visible issue, a large number of internet connections are behind proxies and the users cannot do anything about it.
