Unable to update Expedition "expedition-updates/ Release' does not have a Release file"

L1 Bithead

Currently have expedition 1.1.46.1 installed and running.

on "sudo apt-get update" I receive the message below.

 

W: The repository 'https://conversionupdates.paloaltonetworks.com expedition-updates/ Release' does not have a Release file.

N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.

 

I was unable to find any previous threads concerning this issue.

Editing the repo list at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ex-repo.list to include

deb [trusted=yes] https://conversionupdates.paloaltonetworks.com/ expedition-updates/

 

Prevents the warnings from appearing in the future.

This is a normal message due to the settings of our repository.

 

Continue ahead installing the updates.

This is not a solution. I have concerns on running Palo Alto software in my network considering the "push ahead" attitude when confronted with security concerns. Why has this software not been signed? Is it current PA policy to produce applications for enterprise use with such lenient security?

Hi,

 

We understand your concerns. This is not a product, but a tool offered for free to use and download, and not strictly required to run Palo Alto Networks products.

While we do not have the repository signed, the deb packages themselves are actually signed.

We have plans to provide certified repository listing as well, but it is not yet deployed and we have certain points with higher priority we want to get covered first.

Still an issue nine months (really years) later, though the work-around (not a solution) let's it continue, this violates most corporate policies of using signed repositories for updates. This has been requested for years, any chance we'll ever get the repo signed?

I have upated the ex-repo.list file as recommended, but I still see expedition-beta is already the newest version (1.1.104)

 

expedition@Expedition:~$ sudo apt-get install expedition-beta

expedition@Expedition:~$ deb [trusted=yes] https://conversionupdates.paloaltonetworks.com/ expedition-updates/

 

Also, when I run the sudo apt-get update command, I see this error at the bottom of the output:

 

E: Failed to fetch https://conversionupdates.paloaltonetworks.com/expedition-updates/Packages Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/conversionupdates.paloaltonetworks.com_expedition-updates_Packages.gz - open (13: Permission denied)

 

Any idea on how to get around this?

 

Thanks,

Blake

This is because the "sudo apt-get update" may not have updated.

I'm sorry, but you lost me there.  What do you mean sudo apt-get update may not have updated?

The expedition server has access to the internet, and I don't see any denied traffic for app-id apt-get.

 

Here's what I see when I do 'sudo apt-get update' and sudo apt-get install expedition-beta'

Hello @Blake_Wofford 

 

Please refer to this post to resolve it then try to pull the update again and it should work.

Hello, the link you included in the last post, just seems to link back to this same thread.  I've tried updating the repository following these directions (Editing the repo list at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ex-repo.list to include

deb [trusted=yes] https://conversionupdates.paloaltonetworks.com/ expedition-updates/)

but, I still have the same issue that I described earlier.  This happens in both my lab and prod installs of expedition

Hello,

 

Make sure all of your existing repos are trusted as some of the files may not have updated.

Run this: sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/partial  The folder has permission issues of some sort, then run sudo apt-get update again after deleting the folder.

This fixed my problem.  Thank you!
