Package: devuan-keyring
Version: 2023.10.07
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: Martin@Lichtvoll.de
Dear Mark, dear Devuan development team.
In Devuan Ceres I keep getting a warning about policy rejecting signature
within a year which I got explained by Apt by using "--audit":
% LANG=C apt update --audit
Hit:1 http://deb.devuan.org/merged ceres InRelease
All packages are up to date.
Warning: http://deb.devuan.org/merged/dists/ceres/InRelease: Policy will
reject signature within a year, see --audit for details
Audit: http://deb.devuan.org/merged/dists/ceres/InRelease: Sub-process /
usr/bin/sqv returned an error code (1), error message is:
Signing key on 72E3CB773315DFA2E464743D94532124541922FB is not bound:
No binding signature at time 2025-05-25T14:45:30Z
because: Policy rejected non-revocation signature
(PositiveCertification) requiring second pre-image resistance
because: SHA1 is not considered secure since 2026-02-01T00:00:00Z
So does that mean a new signing key is needed?
Reported a bug as suggested by you, Mark.
However: I have apt 3.1.0 from Debian experimental installed. I tried
downgrading to apt 3.0.0devuan1 as I think this version did not display
above warning and I wanted to verify that. But now I get:
Error: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/sqv could not be found.
Notice: Is the package apt-transport-sqv installed?
This method is not referenced in any of the modernized deb822 sources.
I then removed the package "sgv". Now the output is without any error
message. So it seems this message is related to the switch of Apt to
use Rust based Sequoia GPG instead of the regular GnuPG 2.
Some additional package versions that may matter:
- apt 3.1.0 from Debian experimental
- sqv 1.3.0-2
As written I downgraded to apt 3.0.0devuan1 and removed sqv for now.
I bet once Devuan Apt fork switches to sqv you will see above key related
warning. Which means that Devuan Excalibur should not be affected, however
Devuan Ceres may be.
Best,
Martin

We have reworked the keysigning for ceres. I believe this should be resolved.
Closing.
