Ubuntu to Reject SHA-1-Signed Repos by Default in APT Starting January 1, 2017

Marius Nestor of Softpedia reports that Debian developer Julian Andres Klode plans to turn off SHA-1 support for APT beginning in January 2017. The change will disable SHA-1 based GPG signatures, and will arrive in Ubuntu 17.04 unstable repositories in the coming days. Once that is verified, it will be implemented for the versions of APT in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.10, as well as in Debian.
