Ubuntu linux repository failure
I'm updating Dropbox through apt on Ubuntu 22.04, and run my usual command for updating all my packages. This time, I received the following error message: E: The repository 'http://linux.dropb...
It works now, but I am not sure why. The following are steps:
* The original not-working configuration are URL: https://linux.dropbox.com/debian, suite: sid.
* I change URL to https://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu, and suite to disco, and run `apt update` to test if the problem is in debian repository only. It works.
* I change URL to https://linux.dropbox.com/debian, and suite to bookworm, and run `apt update` to test if the problem is in sid suite only. It works.
* I rollback all configuration (URL: https://linux.dropbox.com/debian, suite: sid), and run `apt update`. It works.
I guess maybe some broken configuration is fixed when running `apt update` with new configuration.

Community ManagerHello and thanks for reporting these issues,
Graeme T.1 the repository issue was fixed last week. You should be able to update without receiving this error message.
matte90 Our engineering team says that this is a warning message that shouldn't cause a block. They are currently investigating why this is happening. In the meantime, it would help us if you could tell us what OS you are using and the specific error message you're receiving.
Regards,
Ben

Hi BenDBX,
What you mean "fixed"? 🧐 Did you take a look on the Release.gpg file both in "disco" and in "jammy" sections of the repository? 🤔 Did you see that they are the same file actually (or 2 copies of the same file)? 😯 How you expect this key to match 2 different Release files simultaneously? That would be a big security issue! 🤫 Fortunately it's not.

Can you ask your "engineering team" how incorrect signing key depends on OS or anything else out of signing algorithm? 🤷🤦 Ask them why the key file is copied instead of recreated (corresponding to what's signed), as has to be... Do you and some of your neighbors have the same door' keys? In the same context you have to be surprised why you can't unlock your neighbor' door using the key of your door! Would you do it there? Why are you doing it here? It's the same!... In this context - "warning message" - 🧐 what's a warning for you?
All others: Why do you intent use particular name? Using any available release name, that works (signed with proper key), would be fine. 😉 All they point to the same pool; there are no different pools/application releases for different OS' releases, so the name doesn't matter (if we ignore wrong signing 😁).
Good luck.
I am using Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa) and I am having this same issue since April 10.
W: GPG error: https://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu focal Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG FC918B335044912E Dropbox Automatic Signing Key <linux@dropbox.com>
Any idea how to solve it?

Hi hugolia,
Yes, replace "focal" to "disco" in Dropbox repository settings. 😉 Should be enough.
Hope this helps.
Can confirm that changing to "disco" works on 22.04. I get the same error as the others, as of May 7, 2023.
