By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description sqlpython 2010-10-19 11:02:07 CDT 
I added to sources.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kde3-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu lucid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kde3-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu lucid main

 I attempted the apt-get update which I expected to fail without the key but just to check. Next I attempted the KEY which has failed repeatedly over a 2 day period. 

 Here is the results. How do I solve this issue..

 We at RevLinux are interested in joining the Project but the repository availability is of concern..

Me too and it happens quite often

Comment 5 Graham North 2011-08-12 04:43:16 CDT 
Suspect on this occasion it might be due to a restrictive firewall.
Comment 6 Timothy Pearson 2011-08-13 04:35:14 CDT 
Changes have been made to increase reliability of the firewall which protects the keyserver; please let me know if you continue to experience problems.
Comment 7 RJ 2011-09-01 04:39:54 CDT 
I'm tired with this bug!

I have to make apt-get update about 5-10 times for GPG keys are checked.

Please, make something with this.
Comment 8 Graham North 2012-01-05 17:51:54 CST 
I have added a duplicate key on my server:

wget http://www.netlinux.org.uk/uploads/trinity.asc -O - |sudo apt-key add -

This may get out of sync with the original key, but you can try it.
Comment 9 Darrell 2013-05-22 22:27:07 CDT 
Is this report still valid?
Comment 10 James 2013-06-03 16:49:41 CDT 
On my Debian - testing, I finally commented-out the /etc/apt/sources.list references to http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian.  I'd get things like

 E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
 E: Problem with MergeList
 /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net_trinity_trinity-v3.5.13_debian_dists_squeeze_main_i18n_Translation-en
 E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

So I'd say yes, still a problem.  I cannot say anything about specific problems, but there are still download problems that come and go.  Currently, I have switched to Arch Linux for something more current than Debian, but Arch is not as current with Trinity and does not use the ppa.

Comment 11 Michele Calgaro 2018-07-27 10:39:14 CDT 
Repository availability has improved a lot over the years, thanks to the secondary mirrors and Slavek repo as well.
