 Posted: Thu Sep 10, 2015 3:32 am Post subject: portage vs apt with firewall |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm not sure which group to ask this question to so I'll start here. I use gentoo as my main computer here at work and it works fine. I've been given a work laptop with using ubuntu and I cannot use apt to download any packages. I get an an error that stating:
| Code: |
Get:1 http://dl.google.com stable InRelease
100% [1 InRelease gpgv 81.7 kB] [Waiting for headers] [Connecting to ppa.launchSplitting up /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/dIgn http://dl.google.com stable InRelease e failed
E: GPG error: http://dl.google.com stable InRelease: Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NODATA' (does the network require authentication?)
|
Now, I understand this is a ubuntu error but all signs point to not receiving information due to the firewall here.
So my question is how does portage manage to work flawlessly on the same network? I haven't changed any of the defaults on either and both are using the same mirror (via a local University) on http or ftp.
Anyone experienced in both systems that could give me a guess? |

| Try removing/commenting out http://dl.google.com from /etc/apt/sources.list and running apt-get update. |

I just put a fresh debian install on without that mirror. It's still similar error:
| Code: |
: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://security.debian.org testing/updates InRelease: Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NODATA' (does the network require authentication?)

My guess is that it has something to do with my workplace firewall rules. I think if there's no rule in the firewall to allow incoming connections from the server, it keeps failing. I think firewalls call this type of rule "ESTABLISHED,RELATED" so that only incoming connections from a server that already has an outgoing connection will be allowed.
But I have no idea how portage manages to work. If there's a way to force apt to do the same thing as portage it would be helpful since I'm suppose to get this silly laptop working for other people who don't want to use Gentoo. |
