apt: WTH is a "second pre-image resistance"?
Hi folks,
trying Trixie "apt update" shows a warning about my local repo
(managed by reprepro on Bookworm) I don't know how to handle:
Warning: http://debian.example.com/debian/dists/trixie-backports/InRelease: Policy will reject signature within a year, see --audit for details
Audit: http://debian.example.com/debian/dists/trixie-backports/InRelease: Sub-process /usr/bin/sqv returned an error code (1), error message is:
Signing key on xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is not bound:
No binding signature at time 2025-06-02T09:32:30Z
because: Policy rejected non-revocation signature (PositiveCertification) requiring second pre-image resistance
because: SHA1 is not considered secure since 2026-02-01T00:00:00Z
I know that SHA1 is not secure, but what is this resistance error message
trying to tell me? InRelease is signed by a RSA4096 key. Digest is SHA512.
I also have a revocation key for the signing key.
???
Every helpful comment is highly appreciated
Harri
