Unable to add PPA Key

[aranw]

Hey,

Trying to add the PPA key but it seems to always fail due to the your name in the PPA Key.

gpg: requesting key E5267A6C from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: key E5267A6C: public key "Launchpad PPA for Ond\xc5\x99ej Sur�" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)

Running on Ubuntu I do like this to get his PPA's working:

apt-get update &&
apt-get install -y language-pack-en-base &&
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 &&
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 &&
apt-get install -y software-properties-common &&
add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php5-5.6 &&
add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/mariadb-10.0 && 
apt-get update && 
apt-get -y upgrade

[aranw]

I found the fix was for me to set the language to UTF-8.

locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

Edit:

As pointed out by @SmallRoomLabs some Ubuntu installs don't have local-gen installed by default.

To add it run sudo apt-get install -y language-pack-en-base then use the commands listed above.

[mengstr]

The AMI that I use on AWS doesn't have the language pack installed by default so I had to install language-pack-en-base. Just doing the locale-gen didn't cut it for me.

But even after 22 years of screwing around with Linux (0.99pl3 was the kernel on my first dist) I'm still more than just a bit confused when it comes to character- & language encodings. ;-)

[oerdnj]

Unfortunately that's something broken by Ubuntu and has to be fixed by Ubuntu. I will leave this open for others to find. Thanks for the workaround...

[oerdnj]

JFTR this is shortened version that should work (run as root):

# apt-get install -y language-pack-en-base
# LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/<repository>

[Seldaek]

@oerdnj has this been reported to ubuntu? And alternatively while I fully understand that it's not your fault, would it be an option for you to use a transliterated version of your name instead of the full unicode one? That would be a good workaround I guess.

[oerdnj]

Should I also change my official name so your copy & paste buffer doesn't get cluttered with few more characters?

No, I am definitely not going to use transliterated name because it's 2015 and I like my name as it is.

[Seldaek]

Eh I meant no offense. I just meant it would be a pragmatic way to reduce the load of duplicate support issues about this problem. I agree with you though that in this day and age Unicode usage shouldn't cause such breakage.

[oerdnj]

I have added instructions to every major PPA description how to circumvent this issue. Hope this fixes most problems.

[oerdnj]

JFTR: LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php also works.

Dockerfile part for official Ubuntu 14 docker image which worked for me

# required by PHP 5.6
RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive \
    apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y language-pack-en-base &&\
    export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 && \
    export LANG=en_US.UTF-8


RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update && apt-get install -y software-properties-common
RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php


RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 \
    apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    php5.6 php5.6-mbstring php5.6-mcrypt php5.6-mysql php5.6-xml

[ktamas77]

@rvadym your solution is excellent, there is only a small issue, you missed a -y to avoid interactions this line; the noninteractive flag is not enough (docker / ubuntu xenial). With the -y parameter it works:
RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php

[rvadym]

@ktamas77 I think you're right. It is just part of much bigger config, so I might miss some small details accidentally. Thanks for pointing this out.

[hypotheses]

With the current locale setting

ubuntu1604# locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

I still got the warning below. Is this something I can ignore?

add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
 Co-installable PHP versions: PHP 5.5, 5.6, PHP 7.0 and batteries included.

[mstnorris]

I have done what is suggested above and added the following two lines to the top of my install.sh script.

sudo apt-get install -y language-pack-en-base
sudo LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

Yet I still get the following message:

WARNING: add-apt-repository is broken with non-UTF-8 locales, see https://github.com/oerdnj/deb.sury.org/issues/56 for workaround

Am I missing something?

No matter what I do, this is still an issue for me on 16.04. I have tried the this fix multiple times in different ways (using Ansible) and none of them work. The end result is always:

E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php/ubuntu xenial Release' is no longer 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. 

Edit: See below, seems to have been something screwy with the state of SSL on my OS.

[shadowhand]

@todeveni did not work, same error.

[todeveni]

@shadowhand Works for me 🙂

Here's the full vagrant setup I tested it on.

[shadowhand]

Well, I was having some other SSL issues with composer so I decided to reinstall my OS completely and now everything appears to be working. 🧐

[shadowhand]

I spoke too soon. Every time there is an ansible package install it will fail ~50% of the time. I can even SSH into the vagrant machine and manually run sudo apt-get update and sometimes it will error and sometimes not. At a loss as to what to do.

[todeveni]

@emilklindt You're trying to add Ubuntu repo to Debian. Doesn't work that way.

[o-ayoub]

No, it s ubnutu 16.04 Xenial.

[caiowilson]

I'd like to add that you can just
sudo apt-get install -y language-pack-en-base && sudo export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 && sudo export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 && sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common

then proceed as normal (ie: sudo apt-get install -y php7.2) etc.
works with ubuntu based and ubuntu versions with problems with locale.

Stop hijacking old issues for unrelated chitchat.
