GENUEN updating packages is disabled

Since approx. 8 weeks updating of Genuen/Gnuinos packages is disabled.
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
does not work

Are there reasons for that?

Should we wait for the next version, which at the moment only for XFCE is available?

Re: GENUEN updating packages is disabled

What does "does not work" mean? The repository tree seems fine...

Re: GENUEN updating packages is disabled

I am currently able to update && upgrade genuen 6.0 Excalibur.

You may want to check your system time. If it is trailing, your system will see the InRelease file as a mirage from the future and refuse to trust it.

sudo apt update > update2.txt

Re: GENUEN updating packages is disabled

Should I replace the name: gnuinos
with
genuen

in  /etc/apt/sources.list   ?

would that help?
