Installing from Debian packages in Buster fails because of a signature error

I am trying to install Kaltura on a Debian system, following the guide on GitHub.

I have just added the GPG public key of the Kaltura team and the sources for Kaltura:

deb [arch=amd64] http://installrepo.kaltura.org/repo/apt/debian propus main

However, apt reports an invalid signature:

  The following signatures were invalid: 8118B7B578D4BA50032E3B740E221B84C95650AB

But the signature is valid:

I don’t see what “URI failure” could be referring to in that context. All files appear to have been downloaded and to exist.

I also checked whether the SHA256 checksums are correct, and they are.

I also tried the solutions discussed over at SuperUser and AskUbuntu (no link provided because of new user limit). But they do not seem to apply (and they don’t work).

This also raised that issue on GitHub (# 688).

Thanks a lot for your help!

EDIT: Added additional research.

Hello @odkr ,

I’m afraid we do not officially support the latest Debian distributions. Please see here for supported distros:

I can see how you might be confused by the file name (kaltura-install-deb-based.md) but remember, Ubuntu is in fact a Debian derivative and deb is a packaging format, used in many binary distros:)

With regards to porting to additional distros, please see my comment here apt-get update returns error on Debian 10 bullseye · Issue #1222 · kaltura/nginx-vod-module · GitHub and here: Local Setup of Kaltura Server - #2 by jess

Cheers,
Cheers,

Oh! That explains a lot. Thanks!
