Can't update the packages on Trisquel 7 due to signatures
Greetings.
I've installed Oracle VirtualBox from Oracle repos due to a conflict that Debian had with the VirtualBox developers and the release cycle. However, when I try to update the Trisquel packages, it shows me a message that says that APT can't upgrade the packages due to the signatures are not found.
How can I do for update the repo signatures?
Thanks.

I ran system update tonight and got an unauthenticated sources error, so I went to bash and did: sudo apt-get upgrade and got tons of "Failed to fetch" errors.
Ex:
E: Failed to fetch http://es.archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/pool/main/p/python-setuptools/python3-pkg-resources_3.3-1ubuntu2_all.deb Unable to connect to es.archive.trisquel.info:http:
Dozens of these. And when I tried "sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update", I got a bunch of these:
Err http://es.archive.trisquel.info belenos InRelease
Err http://es.archive.trisquel.info belenos-security InRelease
Err http://es.archive.trisquel.info belenos-updates InRelease
Err http://es.archive.trisquel.info belenos Release.gpg
Unable to connect to es.archive.trisquel.info:http:
Is http://es.archive.trisquel.info down?
Starting with version 4.2 compiling the BIOS used by VirtualBox requires the Open Watcom compiler, which is non-free: https:name at domain/msg34687.html
"VirtualBox OSE Guest Additions" are non-free too: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/multiverse/v/virtualbox-guest-additions-iso/virtualbox-guest-additions-iso_5.0.10-1/copyright
I'm using the Oracle version of VirtualBox, and Debian dropped VirtualBox from Stretch repos due to the release cycle and the lack of details in the CVE in every new version that has been released.
In the oldstable version, VirtualBox has been upgraded in Jessie backport repo in contrib and non-free branches.
Otherwise, the point of this thread is the signature error when I try to update the packages in my Trisquel VM.
Even the Debian wiki links to a debate that happened in their maillist >>
Problem solved. The spanish Trisquel repos are down. I've changed to the US repos and now the packages are being updated. Thanks for the advice.
How does one change to the US repos?
Oh nevermind. Found it in System Settings-> Software & Updates -> Download From
My situation has also been resolved by switching away from the es.* domain for updates.
