apt-get works with --force-yes but cannot reproduce the issue on a fresh box
- by deepak
apt-get does not work the first time but works the second time
i install ntp like:
apt-get -q -y install ntp=1:4.2.6.p3+dfsg-1ubuntu3.1
It failed saying:
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
libcap2 libopts25 ntp
E: There are problems and -y was used without --force-yes
Afterwards i ran,
apt-key update
and ran the same commad with --force-yes:
apt-get -q -y --force-yes install ntp=1:4.2.6.p3+dfsg-1ubuntu3.1
Thereafter running apt-get purge and reinstalling ntp runs. "without" --force-yes
apt-get purge libcap2 libopts25 ntp
apt-get -q -y install ntp=1:4.2.6.p3+dfsg-1ubuntu3.1
Also i created a fresh VM and could not reproduce the issue. On a fresh VM, the same apt-get command runs the first time, without "--force-yes"
Two questions, why does running apt-get work the second time and cannot reproduce the error ?
