I can't find the Beagleboard Debian repository details

General Discussion

My apt configuration is a bit out of (i.e. the files in /etc/apt) on my two Beaglebone Black systems. I’ve tried searching but I just can’t find the information needed to set up apt for Debian on Beaglebone.

Can someone point me in the right direction please.

It doesn’t really go out of date. Either the release your on has either gone end of life, or you’ve upgraded it over time.

So let’s start with the basics, what do you have it configured for today, and what do you want it configured for.

I am running trixie and have been getting the warning about an out of date (SHA1) key being used. It finally stopped working at the beginning of February and since then ‘apt update’ has been failing.

So, basically, I just need to update the key (I assume)

Thanks for the very quick reply Robert.

There should be a local copy available here..

/etc/bbb.io/templates/apt/beagle.list

Reference repos-armhf/bbb.io-keyring/suite/trixie/debian/beagle.list at master · beagleboard/repos-armhf · GitHub

Something is very broken somewhere.

Here’s what happens when I do ‘apt update’:-

`Get:1 ` http://security.debian.org/debian-security` trixie-security InRelease [43.4 kB]`
`Hit:2 ` http://deb.debian.org/debian` trixie InRelease`
`Hit:3 ` http://deb.debian.org/debian` trixie-updates InRelease`
`Get:5 ``https://apt.syncthing.net`` syncthing InRelease [24.2 kB]`
`Hit:4 ` https://repos.rcn-ee.com/debian` trixie InRelease`
`Err:4 ` https://repos.rcn-ee.com/debian` trixie InRelease`
`Sub-process /usr/bin/sqv returned an error code (1), error message is: Missing key A72AB0B90B8685C91777A377D284E608A4C46402, which is needed to verify signature.`
`Fetched 67.6 kB in 2s (32.7 kB/s)`
`All packages are up to date.`
`Warning: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. OpenPGP signature verification failed: ` https://repos.rcn-ee.com/debian` trixie InRelease: Sub-process /usr/bin/sqv returned an error code (1), error message is: Missing key A72AB0B90B8685C91777A377D284E608A4C46402, which is needed to verify signature.`
`Warning: Failed to fetch ``http://repos.rcn-ee.com/debian/dists/trixie/InRelease``  Sub-process /usr/bin/sqv returned an error code (1), error message is: Missing key A72AB0B90B8685C91777A377D284E608A4C46402, which is needed to verify signature.`
`Warning: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.`

I seem to have the right file in place but it might be a good idea if I download it again - where from?

root@jrbb# ls -l /usr/share/keyrings/rcn-ee-2025-archive-keyring.gpg
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 464 Aug 13 23:13 /usr/share/keyrings/rcn-ee-2025-archive-keyring.gpg

However the instructions for configuring apt from scratch would be fine, there’s not a lot required to do it.

Yeap, your sources are all messed up…

Server: Index of /repos/debian-trixie-armhf/pool/main/b/bbb.io-keyring

Running this would install them:

wget https://rcn-ee.net/repos/debian-trixie-armhf/pool/main/b/bbb.io-keyring/bbb.io-keyring_1.20250813.0-0~trixie+20250813_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i bbb.io-keyring_1.20250813.0-0~trixie+20250813_all.deb
sudo cp -v /etc/bbb.io/templates/apt/beagle.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/beagle.list

Then remove all other references in /etc/apt/sources.list

Thanks Robert, that sorted it.

I don’t know where that quoted bit came from.

Anyway, as I said, it’s now all working.

Thank you!
