A second Opera 11.00 final build for Linux/FreeBSD

January 21, 2011 · by Ruarí Ødegaard

We have just pushed a new Opera 11.00 release for Linux and FreeBSD to our ftp, deb and download servers. The reason we're doing this is that we just realized that the signing key for Debian packages expires the 23rd this month. Since Opera 11.01 is slated to be shipped after this date, we need to issue an updated Opera 11.00 with a new signing key before that, so that people are actually able to update to Opera 11.01 using the default package manager.

This new build is squarely aimed at users of Ubuntu and other Debian based Linux distros. However, to keep the build numbers on all UNIX platforms in sync, we've also pushed new builds for FreeBSD and others. You do not have to update unless you have a Ubuntu or Debian based distro. If you use Windows or Mac, there is also no need to update.

    Are there any fixes in this release? And if not, do people that use non-debian based distros have to upgrade as well?

    I have made a clean install of 11.0(1176) on Linux Mint 10 x86_64, 2.6.35-24-generic Gnome 2.32.0 and found no problems with the browser so far.

    When i refresh synaptic 0.63.1 and mintUpdate 4.2.0 i get this warning:
    W: GPG error: http://deb.opera.com stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY F9A2F76A9D1A0061

    No, if you use the latest snapshot, you have the latest key.

    The key is changed and the binary is updated to know of the new build number. Also copyright notices in language files now say 2011, instead of 2010. There are no further fixes however. As I said in the post "You do not have to update unless you have a Ubuntu or Debian based distro."

    The deb server has not had its key updated yet because it has not expired. Don't worry about this. We'll update it shortly.

    When will this update happen exactly? Tomorrow at the earliest? I have this error for almost a week already. Do we get the error because we have the new key, but not the old one that hasn't expired yet?
  • Tommy A. Olsen22. January 2011, 14:02

    @Sasquatch: If you've had this error for a week, then something else must be wrong. Is Check the date on your system.
  • Sasquatch22. January 2011, 14:19

    Date and time are fine, Opera is the only repo that gives the error noted above by LeonOutside. I think it started on Tuesday. I do wonder if it happened right after a new snapshot of this week, as I don't check for updates on a daily basis (almost daily, skip a day every now and then).

    That would explain it. The previous snapshot also included the new key. This new key is not yet being used on deb.opera.com yet. We'll switch over shortly (Monday). You will stop getting the error then.

    So what? I have "NO_PUBKEY F9A2F76A9D1A0061" after update... on Ubuntu 10.10
  • Ruarí Ødegaard23. January 2011, 16:31

    Yes, we have to update the repository as well. This will likely happen on Monday. See my earlier comments.

    If you have 11.00.1176 installed you should no longer be seeing errors when running, 'apt-get update'.

    I am confirming that the update error is no longer present.
  • Ruarí Ødegaard24. January 2011, 14:01

    Great, thanks for the confirmation.

    If anyone sees such an error make sure you have 11.00.1176 installed. If not you can always get it from:
