The command fails because the repositories are not signed.
I usually fix this by importing the key with
apt-key
:
curl -L http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/dists/sid/Release.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo: apt-key: command not found

curl: Failed writing body
root@ibmlinux:~$
I also tried to reinstall the keys.
apt-get -o APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated=true reinstall debian-archive-keyring debian-ports-archive-keyring
I also tried using wget
and dpkg -i
:
apt-get -y update
Get:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports sid InRelease [75.0 kB]
Err:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports sid InRelease

This is my /etc/apt/sources.list
EDIT: Finally, I found the new method for enabling gpg.
vim /etc/apt/sources.list
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-ports-archive-2025.asc] http://debian.inf.tu-dresden.de/debian-ports sid main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-ports-archive-2025.asc] http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
But it still does not work because I cannot find the right keyring; I have tried all files of package port-keyring but still fail.
EDIT2:
apt
reports apt 2.9.24 (ppc64)
sqv
reports instruction not allowed
Can this the problem?
EDIT3:
New syntax (run apt modernize-sources
to obtain it)
vim /etc/apt/sources.d/debian-ports.source
# Modernized from /etc/apt/sources.list
Types: deb deb-src
URIs: http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/
Suites: sid
Components: main contrib non-free
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/debian-ports-archive-keyring.gpg
It still gives the errors.
