problems installing the medibuntu-keyring

Asked by Don Kauffman

The following happens when I try to install the medibuntu-keyring for hardy.
When I do sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring
it buzzes past the question of whether I trust the source and gives me an error then enters a couple more lines.

I have included the following to show you what it does.
Thanks for any help!
dekauff@kauff-peach:~$ sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  medibuntu-keyring
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
Need to get 3448B of archives.
After this operation, 49.2kB of additional disk space will be used.

These lines at the bottom are not superfluous -- apt-get actually enters those lines.

Hi,

I'm afraid that we can't do anything for this issue. This is probably
not medibuntu related and should be reproducible with any package.

I suppose you only hit the return key once, but your system behaves as
if you pressed it about 9 times. Apt-get gives an error since it selects
the safest choice ([N], don't install) when it receives one of these
extras return keypresses.

You should try to file a bug against Ubuntu describing this issue.

Cheers,
Lionel

I have installed other packages. This behavior only happens with this particular package. Please check the package or provide an alternative way to get the keyring.

Thanks

Never mind I figured it out;and the problem is solved. I had copied and pasted from a webpage and apparently got some embedded returns on the end,

Thank you for the prompt attention!!

wget http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O -|sudo apt-key add - ?
