Control: notfound -1 1.0.10.2 Control: found -1 1.1.3 (fixing up metadata to reflect report) On Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at 11:42:34AM -0500, The Wanderer wrote: > Couldn't create tempfiles for splitting up > /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_testing_InRelease The code doing the splitting is present since 0.9.8 (~2013), so that is probably really about the tempfiles rather than this code itself as it didn't change much. I guess its permission related as this code is now executed as _apt rather than as root. You can disable privilege dropping temporarily with -o APT::Sandbox::User=root Interesting might be the permissions of your $TMPDIR: stat /tmp $TMPDIR Potentially also how you mount it (if you do it): mount | grep tmpfs [I see that you haven't followed the systemd switch yet, which suggests you could have other "new" default options not as default like a non- persistent /tmp as well] You could also try moving /var/lib/apt/lists away. There is no 'partial' in this file path, so maybe some bad file is stuck in there doing bad things. While at it: Anything interesting in the partial/ subdirectory and does the mention file looks at least reasonable? The files are all Hit's – what modification time have the files in the lists/ dir? I presume 1.1.3 was the first apt you tried of the 1.1 series, right? > Could not execute 'apt-key' to verify signature (is gnupg installed?) (That is a catch-all message printed after we had a failure higher up the chain [which was probably very technical like this one] – with the "most likely" cause added in a few layman terms as we do it in a few other error messages as well.)
