NO_PUBKEY BC9F825E1D4FB6C1 - Download for Debian Bookworm

This is wher I begun, but already the command

gpg --verbose  --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key 1D4FB6C1

fails with

gpg: Server indicated a failure

For the record and users who run Debian GNU/Linux unstable:

apt-key is not available in Debian unstable anymore!

For a few days now, this is the way to go:

• download key-file:
  wget -q https://debian.qelectrotech.org/qet/bui … sitory.asc
  and save (as root) to /etc/apt/keyrings

• adjust sources-list entry for QElectroTech
  file needs the ending ".sources" as in this example:
  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qelectrotech.sources

• content of qelectrotech.sources:

# draw electric diagrams with QElectroTech
# 
Types:      deb
URIs:       https://debian.qelectrotech.org/qet/builds/debian/
Suites:     unstable
Components: main
Enabled:    yes
Signed-By:  /etc/apt/keyrings/Qelectrotech_Repository.asc

• from here everything further is known:
  apt update
  apt install qelectrotech

@scorpio810:
Maybe you can update the information on QET-Homepage, Laurent?
Thanks in advance! 

Perhaps because the system was installed a long time ago and has only been updated since then?

In any case: The qelectrotech.sources described above also works with Debian Bookworm.

Hello,
I'm also receiving this message recently
GPG error: https://debian.qelectrotech.org/qet/builds/debian stable InRelease
The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY B8D8B0B00ADD2851

System:
  Kernel: 6.12.12+bpo-amd64 arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 12.2.0
  Desktop: Cinnamon v: 5.6.8 tk: GTK v: 3.24.38 wm: Muffin dm: LightDM Distro: Debian GNU/Linux

  Active apt repos in: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qelectrotech.list
    1: deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/Qelectrotech_Repository.asc] https: //debian.qelectrotech.org/qet/builds/debian stable main

The key file has recently been renewed, see the plc user article on how to use it:
https://qelectrotech.org/forum/viewtopi … 890#p20890

BTW, Pysimplegui and qet_tb_generator were rebuilt for the new keyfile and uploaded back into the QET Debian stable and unstable repositories.

Thank you very much. I could install new version by downloading the asc key and creating the sources file BUT, related to the repository configuration file, two points:

1) My system is Debian stable, multiarchitecture and sudo apt update complained about missing i386 architecture in qelectrotech repository. The solution to that is adding a line with just the Architectures directive:

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qelectrotech.sources
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

# draw electric diagrams with QElectroTech
#
Types:      deb
Architectures: amd64
URIs:       https://debian.qelectrotech.org/qet/builds/debian/
Suites:     stable
Components: main
Enabled:    yes
Signed-By:  /etc/apt/keyrings/Qelectrotech_Repository.asc
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

2) Debian (bullseye) stable (and also backports) have version numbers higher than the reported by qelectrotech deb packages at debian.qelectrotech.org (debian versions are 1:0.9-1 and 1:0.9-1~bpo11+1). To be able to install latest version, I've had to uninstall Debian version and force installation of 0.100.0.r8447-2.

Regards and thanks for your time,
Josep
