Installation problem: 1 signature not checked due to a missing key

Hello. I am trying to install syncthing on Debian using this guide:

https://apt.syncthing.net/

However, when I try this, I get this error

$ curl -s https://syncthing.net/release-key.txt | sudo apt-key add -
key D26E6ED000654A3E:
1 signature not checked due to a missing key
OK

How do I proceed from here? Thanks.

Have you tried further steps? This might just be a warning.

Thanks Audrius. I went ahead and installed it.

However, I am surprised to have got v0.14.18 from 2017-04-06, when the version in the standard Debian repository seems to be 0.14.52.

Should I purge everything and just do an apt install?

It’s probably that version in your distro repos, and not syncthing repos, so it just picks that. There is some way to tell it which repo to use.

You shouldn’t need to, after doing the steps on apt.syncthing.net 0.14.52 should be automatically selected as it’s newer. Did you add the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list file? And to see available versions and which gets selected, you can run apt-cache policy syncthing.

Ah yes, sorry. I seem to have forgot to do the apt update before installing. I’ve now done an apt update and apt upgrade and now I have v0.14.52.

Cheers.
