I've been trying out Suse on my desktop, and really like the use of APT for Debian, but am having problems getting errors while running apt-get from the
http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/ mirror. This is what happens:
Building Dependency Tree... Done
W: Release file did not contain checksum information for
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt...6/base/pkglist.
W: Release file did not contain checksum information for
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt...6/base/release.
W: Release file did not contain checksum information for
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt...6/base/pkglist.
W: Release file did not contain checksum information for
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt...6/base/release.
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Now I can seem to bypass this when installing packages using this:
apt install --no-checksig <pkg-name> but I know doing that is risky because you have no way to verify that the package is legit if the mirror gets hacked. I've imported all of the keys from
http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/rpmkeys, and the sources.list I use for my mirrors looks like this:
# Uncomment the line below, in case you want to use SuSE's patch rpms.
# Read the information about patch rpms at
http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm
# A very basic sources.list line. Fastest repository first.
# Remove "base" in case you are behind a
# slow connection. Fastest repository first.
# Visit the server to determine which apt components are provided.
# The list with all available components can be found at:
#
http://linix01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm
# Some components provide experimental software, select wisely!
