I was trying to remove, then reinstall, tor browser. apt is now no longer working;

sudo apt update

E: Conflicting values set for option Signed-By regarding source https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/ focal: /usr/share/keyrings/deb.torproject.org-keyring.gpg != /usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg E: The list of sources could not be read.

I tried removing /usr/share/keyrings/deb.torproject.org-keyring.gpg and /usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg to no effect..

  • How exactly did you try to remove then reinstall? Asking because the repository is correct so just uninstalling the package and reinstalling (or just reinstalling in one go with the --reinstall parameter) should be trivial. Commented Feb 19, 2023 at 18:59
  • As i remember I did "apt purge tor", later apt install tor I did ;. Create a new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ named tor.list. Add the following entries: deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] deb.torproject.org/torproject.org <DISTRIBUTION> main deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] deb.torproject.org/torproject.org <DISTRIBUTION> main then added the gpg key as per support.torproject.org/apt/tor-deb-repo Commented Feb 20, 2023 at 12:09

My problems were caused by a change in the tor installation procedure. Apt functionality was restored by deleting the tor file from /etc/apt/sources.list.
