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?

Re: GENUEN updating packages is disabled

You should be using Excalibur.

See https://www.genuen.org.

Re: GENUEN updating packages is disabled

How should I do this best?

I changed in /etc/apt/sources.list  from daedalus to excalibur
but
sudo apt update shows

missing public key.

Re: GENUEN updating packages is disabled

Use a browser and go to: https://packages.genuen.org/genuen/pool … e-keyring/ Download "genuen-archive-keyring_2025.12.02_all.deb" to a local folder.
Now change to root and do:

dpkg -i /path/to/genuen-archive-keyring_2025.12.02_all.deb

to install a valid signature.
Finally do: 

apt update

and 

apt dist-upgrade

That should work (at least it did for me)

Re: GENUEN updating packages is disabled

thanks very much

during installing that message came up:

******************************************************************************
*
* The base-files package cannot be installed because
* /bin is a directory, but should be a symbolic link.
*
* Please install the usrmerge package to convert this system to merged-/usr.
*
* For more information please read https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge.
*
******************************************************************************
I installed "usrmerge"

and run again:

sudo apt dist-upgrade

and then everything went fine.

Excalibur got installed.

But there are several problems.

e.g in KDE (I think it is X11) there are no  apps shown in the starter menu.
other problems I have not yet discovered.

at least  Genuen Excalibur got installed.
