Couldn't update Parrot, public key is not available/Waterfox

Camello · 08-22-2021, 03:31 AM

Hello there,

I followed some instructions to install Palemoon and Waterfox in Parrot, it went well with the first but it did not work for the latter due to an error in the public key ... Now I can not update the system and I do not know how to remove / purge this. ..

Thanks for any idea ...

Forget to say that even when I removed it (repo) from Synaptic, it does not update the system.

Well then you did something wronmg there.

You have two options: either you obtain the public key, or you remove the hawkeye/Waterfox repository from your sources.

Nr 1:
This search ultimately brought me to this comment

Nr. 2:
Locate the file that contains the offending entry and either remove it completely or comment out (prepend a #) the source entry.
Then run

Code:

apt update
