i got this after unknowingly trying to install automatix on ubuntu 8.04

“E:Type ‘http://www.getautomatix.com/keys/automatix2.key’ is not known on line 16 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.’

how do i deal with this problem?

you should use sudo (or gksudo?) on the wget lne (sudo wget http://www.getautomatix.com/keys/automatix2.key), that worked 4 me. Before that I just got the “Cannot write to `automatix2.key’”-error.

Yeah make sure not to copy the sources.list entries with the quotes, lol.

I dare to correct you Admin!

Kelly’s problem : E: Type ‘“deb’ is not known on line 40 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list

is due to the fact that the command
echo “deb http://www.getautomatix.com/apt edgy main” | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

puts the automatix repository in the apt sources.list but quoted:
“deb http://www.getautomatix.com/apt edgy main”

for the rest it works smooth, at least for me.

E: Type ‘“deb’ is not known on line 40 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list

What do I do?

the problem i found with updating the gpg key was that some of the charicters used are incorrect. – should be replaced with –, so the command should be:
gpg –export –armor 521A9C7C | sudo apt-key add -

After browsing to the listed site, the site contains text. Copying this into a file of the same name, ie, “key.gpg.asc” seems to work and allows the remainder of the installation to proceed.

However, when running Automatix once installed, I get the following message, which I doubt I can resolve with the same approach…

“Sorry Automatix can not continue because some keys could not be downloaded, please try again later.”

Hopefully, trying again later will be more successful.

I just tried this and found that getting the key doesn’t work.
The following is the output returned:

wget http://www.getautomatix.com/apt/key.gpg.asc
Error parsing proxy URL http://:8080/: Invalid host name.

It’s a little weird because there is a text file at the given location.

@Doomx

Please check the commands have a space between the “-”

gpg –import key.gpg.asc

gpg –export –armor 521A9C7C | sudo apt-key add -

Also I got another error after the above corrections.

“E: Type ‘“deb’ is not known on line 34 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list”

which upon the file I found that the line was enclosed in quotes.
“deb http://www.getautomatix.com/apt edgy main”

Change the permissions on this file so that you can write to it.
Open in gedit >> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Take out the quotes.
Save

Continue as shown above

Hope this helps

These steps doesn’t work for kubuntu 6.10

This line writes the “” in the file
echo “deb http://www.getautomatix.com/apt edgy main” | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

This line seems to work
wget http://www.getautomatix.com/apt/key.gpg.asc

This line I get an error : usage gpg [option] …
gpg –import key.gpg.asc

This line I get an error too : gpg: aucune donnée OpenPGP valide n’a été trouvée.
it is in french but it means no valid data OpenPGP found or something like this
gpg –export –armor 521A9C7C | sudo apt-key add -

Thank you
