I’m getting this error trying to install Lutris on Debian 10

Commands I’m running from https://lutris.net/downloads/ for Debian

echo "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/strycore/Debian_10/ ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lutris.list
wget -q https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/strycore/Debian_10/Release.key -O- | sudo apt-key add -
apt update
apt install lutris

Error output

I’m having the same issue, but with Lutris installed on Debian Testing. Was running Updates earlier and got the same error message.

Same here with Debian Unstable.

Looks like they just updated the key. Deb 10 stable fixed with the following:

wget -nv http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/strycore/Debian_10/Release.key -O Release.key

sudo apt-key add - < Release.key

sudo apt update

Thanks! The same new key now works with Debian_Unstable too

Why isn’t the instructions at Download Lutris updated to reflect this fix for the Debian install? Who would need to be contacted to do that?

Hi, if for any reason you are facing the same issue in Debian 12, is because the Key has expired 2025-10-23. Instead use the Release.key file from the Debian_Testing Repository:

echo -e “Types: deb\nURIs: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/strycore/Debian_12/\nSuites: ./\nComponents: \nSigned-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/lutris.gpg” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lutris.sources > /dev/null

wget -q -O- https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/strycore/Debian_Testing/Release.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/lutris.gpg

sudo apt update
sudo apt install lutris
