Linux Mint 18.3 (based on Ubuntu Xenial).

I have looked at the other questions here, but I still don't know where to start about cleaning up my package lists and specifically MariaDB. Any links to somewhere I can read a bit more about managing these lists and the dos and don'ts of them would be good.

In particular I'd like to know just one thing from the output below: what should I do about my MariaDB (MySQL) installation?

When I try to find out my mysql and mysqld versions I get the following

mikeM17A ~ $  mysql --version
mysql  Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.2.16-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2
mike@M17A ~ $  mysqld --version
mysqld  Ver 10.2.16-MariaDB-10.2.16+maria~xenial for debian-linux-gnu on x86_64 (mariadb.org binary distribution)

in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ I have two files that appear to be involved in this MySQL problem: MariaDB101.list and MariaDB102.list. The latter, for example, contains just one line:

deb https://mirrors.evowise.com/mariadb/repo/10.2/ubuntu serena main

Is the idea to delete these? And then should I maybe install the MariaDB available in Synaptic (10.2.27)? Trouble is there are tens of packages with the word "mariadb" in them... I don't know which to install.

If I do that, will they somehow get installed "over" the existing MariaDB installation?

Any other comments on this output from sudo apt-get update would be greatly appreciated.

mike@M17A ~ $  sudo apt-get update

W: The repository 'https://mirrors.evowise.com/mariadb/repo/10.1/ubuntu serena Release' does not have a Release file.

Remove the repository with serena codename (Mint 18.01), the repository doesn't support the serena codname.

W: Target Packages (main/binary-amd64/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list:2 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list:3

Check the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list you have configured the same repository multiples times and remove the duplicate entries.

W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: https://deb.opera.com/opera-stable stable InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 4B8EC3BAABDC4346

You need to download the gpg key , see Manually adding the Opera APT repository

wget -qO - https://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
W: GPG error: http://repository.spotify.com stable InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 4773BD5E130D1D45

 W: The repository 'http://repository.spotify.com stable InRelease' is not signed.

You need to add the gpg key for spotify repo:

curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add - 

Then run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt autoremove

  • Thanks very much! I followed all these instructions and now when I do sudo apt-get update I just get "Hits" an "Gets" (and one "Ign"). Your answer provides a key to help me research this subject more, i.e. exactly how this package list business works, whether I am now properly configured for MySQL/MariaDB. I presume some of your answer is down to general Nixcraft, and some to searching on the basis of the wording of the errors/warnings produced. Really helpful. Commented Oct 8, 2019 at 15:01
