Tataranovich Repository Issue

#1 Post by Lokros »

Hi everyone!

I run Debian Testing (my sources.list file refers always to 'testing' and not to 'Stretch', 'Buster', 'Bullseye' when they become the new testing).
Not long ago (a month or so) my system started to complain (whenever I run apt-get update) that the public key for the tataranovich repository
was not correct. But I don't have this repository installed neither in the sources.list file nor in the sources.list.d folder. Anyway, I installed the
public key (with apt-key) in order to stop my system from complaining. Now, when I run an update check after an upgrade, I take these results:

Hit:1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security testing-security InRelease
Hit:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian testing InRelease
Hit:3 https://repo.skype.com/deb stable InRelease
Ign:4 http://www.tataranovich.com/debian sid InRelease
Hit:5 http://www.tataranovich.com/debian sid Release
Reading package lists... Done

where I would expect only these:

Hit:1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security testing-security InRelease
Hit:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian testing InRelease
Hit:3 https://repo.skype.com/deb stable InRelease
Reading package lists... Done

Why my system search for the tataranovich repository, since there is no reference of it in my sources.list?
Can I disable it somehow? I know that this is not a grave issue, but it didn't exist previously.

Thank you.

[SOLVED] Tataranovich Repository Issue

#3 Post by Lokros »

Well, you are wright. As I said above, my sources.list.d folder has nothing inside it that looks like 'tataranovich'.
But things may well be in disguise! In my sources.list.d there is the file mc.list which stands for the Midnight Commander.
Inside it writes

deb http://www.tataranovich.com/debian sid main
deb-src http://www.tataranovich.com/debian sid main

I couldn't imagine that Midnight Commander comes from the tataranovich repository.

OK. Mystery solved. Thanks again!

Many Debian users use an alternative directory to bring in a software package that we want. After doing so one should immediately block or remove that directory. Failing to do so means that long after we have forgotten about it odd things creep in and cause all sorts of weird problems that are difficult to diagnose.

In case anyone has a similar issue, installing "inxi" and running "inxi -r" would have displayed the answer, too.

@Bulkley: Yes, that is the case. Surely 'tataranovich' popped up somewhere when I installed Midnight Commander
but (a) I didn't pay much attention and (b) I forgot. A Debian user must keep a track of these things.

@stevepusser: I installed inxi and I tested it. Very useful utility. I like it. Thank you for the suggestion.

How did you install Midnight Commander? It has been for ages in Debian repos.

Code: Select all

          
i   mc                    - Midnight Commander - a powerful file manager

I remember that I searched for 'midnight commander' in Debian package search and it gave nothing, because I searched only in package names.
Lazy, lazy, I didn't search in package descriptions because there it does come up. Then I went to https://midnight-commander.org/ and then to
https://midnight-commander.org/wiki/Binaries and here it gives the tataranovich repository and I chose sid from the list.

So, as it unfolds now, I myself created mc.list in the sources.list.d, I installed mc and then I completely forgot how I did it...
After arzgi''s remark, I deleted mc.list and I installed Midnight Commander from the Debian repositories.
