Re: [EP-tech] New ubuntu 16.x problem

Hi Bruce,

I ran into similar issues with Ubuntu 16 and documented my work around here: http://www.eprints.org/tech.php/22140/attachment/message.html. There are other problems further down the chain, however.

The official line from Eprints Services that 14.04 is the highest supported version of Ubuntu for the software.

Attempting to create a new eprints Ubuntu virtual machine (Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, VMware workstation) today, the process now breaks down at apt update with the following:

 

user1@eprints:~$ sudo apt update

Reading package lists... Done

E: The repository 'http://deb.eprints.org/3.3 stable/ Release' does not have a Release file.

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

According to the Man page, this seems to be a problem with a properly signed Release file for the repository, which apparently is now mandatory. If I’m reading this correctly, this will need to be fixed at EPrint’s end, unless someone knows of a workaround. I’ve verified earlier today that the 14.04 package is still working.
