[SOLVED] Sparky 32bit - balenaetcher

[herndon.jeffreys]

I have been trying to install balenaetcher from the repository via Synaptic.  It keeps giving me an error.  I have also tried it with Aptus. Same result.  I noticed the version in the repository is outdated 1.5.73.  The current version is 1.5.105.  I can install it via Github, but when I do, the updater wants to downgrade the package to 1.5.73 and attempts to download it over and over and over again.  Any thoughts?

[pavroo]

It is not possible.
There is balena-etcher-electron 1.5.109 in Sparky repos.
Refresh package list and show me the output:

sudo apt update
apt policy balena-etcher-electron

Here it is!  Thanks for responding!  Currently, I have used apt-mark hold on balenaetcher so I can otherwise upgrade system.  Here is what you asked for

Ok...

I think this must be a keyring issue.  I tried installing the new one, but I am still getting the same error.   Here is what I did.

First I tried

wget -O - https://repo.sparkylinux.org/sparky.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

then ran sudo apt update...  No luck  NO_PUBKEY 5CA76B26C40956B8

Then, I downloaded the .deb file and tried to install it...  No luck when I ran sudo apt update.  Got the same error NO_PUBKEY 5CA76B26C40956B8

Then, I downloaded the sparky keyring file sparky.gpg.key (dated 2/3/20) and installed it directly to both usr/share/keyring AND etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/   Same error NO_PUBKEY 5CA76B26C40956B8

I am basing my actions on post https://forum.sparkylinux.org/index.php/topic,5188.msg13705.html

Please help
