Repository not signed, can't re-add the repository key

See original GitHub issue

Similar issues

Yes, found some in the brave-laptop repository, but no actual solutions.

Description

When trying to update my system, I get an error telling me that the Brave repository isn’t signed and will be disabled.

E: Failed to fetch https://brave-browser-apt-beta.s3.brave.com/dists/bionic/InRelease  403  Forbidden [IP: 151.101.114.217 443]
E: The repository 'https://brave-browser-apt-beta.s3.brave.com bionic InRelease' is not signed.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Installed Brave Beta and used it for a while
  2. It updated a few days ago
  3. Now the repository doesn’t work, and I can’t even re-add it because the key url from the curl command says “Access denied” whenever I try to access it.

Actual result:

Can’t update, can’t upgrade, can’t reinstall.

Expected result:

Brave should update normally.

Reproduces how often:

Every time.

Brave version (chrome://version info)

Brave | 0.55.11 Chromium: 70.0.3538.35 (Official Build) beta(64-bit) Revision | 28dcb499844fa40c28d5f62e337876cb936f79f5-refs/branch-heads/3538@{#678} OS | Linux

Reproducible on current release:

  • Does it reproduce on brave-browser dev/beta builds?

Didn’t try all of the versions, but I suppose it will happen for every repo using the https://brave-browser-apt-dev.s3.brave.com/brave-core-nightly.asc key.

  • Does it reproduce on browser-laptop?

Don’t know. Probably would happen for all repositories signed with the brave-core-nightly.asc key.

According to this community forum thread, the responsible team “is aware and working on it”.
