Re: Can we get back to Ubuntu's PPA ?

[Bruce Steers <bsteers4@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just downloaded and set up ubuntu plucky for you :)

I tried installing gambas the OBS way and had no problems.

I then ran apt modernize-sources and then had the same problem.
seems the gpg signature does not get added during the modernize and has to
be done manually

So the fix...

Open the file  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:gambas:master.sources
the last line says...
Signed By:

change it to...
Signed By: /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_gambas_stable.gpg

providing you have the file /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_gambas_stable.gpg

That fixed it for me

sudo apt update
sudo apt install gambas3
