apt update fails NO_PUBKEY 93D6889F9F0E78D5

[binkerd]

When I run apt update on my Armbian machine (station-p2) I have started getting the following error message:

 

mark@station-m2:~$ sudo apt update

This has been happening for the past few days, and I don't know how to resolve the issue.  I can get to the https://github.armbian.com/configng webpage from my network but I keep getting errors when trying to update.  Any ideas on how to resolve this?

That worked!  Thank you for the quick response and the simple fix to this issue.

I think I spoke too soon.  The sudo apt update process is working but when I try to do sudo apt upgrade I get an error:

Seems that whatever update this is it is compressed with the zst format.  I don't know if this is a repository error or something that needs fixing on my system.  

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Running Debian bullseye? This is EOL.

Edit: Aha, yes, that's it.

Hi @Igor,

 

I'm attempting to update from OMV6 --> OMV7 and initially got the NO_PUBKEY error which I was able to resolve following the link that @Werner provided 🙂.

I'm now getting the same unknown compression error as @binkerd
 

dpkg-deb: error: archive '/var/cache/apt/archives/armbian-config_25.2.0-trunk.47.1118.163006_all.deb' uses unknown compression for member 'control.tar.zst', giving up

I followed your link to the stack exchange post, but I'm not sure what to do to fix the problem?
Do I need to edit the apt/sources.list/ and apt/sources.list.d/?
Thanks!
