Insync repository signing key expired [RESOLVED]

Bugs and issues Linux
1

Dear All,
Below error message was occurred, on Ubuntu 24.04, while:

$ sudo apt update
ERROR:7 http://apt.insync.io/ubuntu noble Inrelease
The following signatures were invalid: EXPKEYSIG …

I believe there was a similar issue near Aug, 2025.
Seems like this kind of issue should be regularly check by Insync team. Hope to be solved soon.

Just for more information, I add below information:

$ insync-headless version
3.2.7.10758

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
Release: 24.04
Codename: noble

Dear mia,

Always thank you for your support. The Insync solution could be more trusted with your consideration and keen communication.

Just regarding the repository issue, I’d like to request that the engineering team perform regular checks to prevent recurring problems. I look forward to continued collaboration with Insync.

Hi @midotter,

Thank you for your kind words and continued trust in Insync! Rest assured that our keys are not expired.

Could you send the output of the command below:

gpg --show-keys --with-fingerprint /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/insynchq.gpg

If there’s a no such file or directory error, please run this and let me know how it goes:

curl -L https://apt.insync.io/insynchq.gpg 2>/dev/null | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/insynchq.gpg 1>/dev/null

Dear @mia,

First of all, thank you — the issue has been resolved.

For the sake of reference in the forum, I’d like to share the following:
Based on the output of “gpg --show-keys”, it appears that my existing key had expired on 2024-09-08. I did go through an unusual sequence of installing insync → uninstalling it → installing insync-headless, but I’m still not sure how I ended up with an already-expired key in the first place.

Thanks again for your help!

Hi @mia, I am trying to install Insync on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS Noble, and this issue is back again.

Can you please provide some assistance?
