[Bug 1558331] Re: message "The repository is insufficiently signed by key (weak digest)" is poorly worded

[Julian Andres Klode]

After a lot of further input, the text was changed in APT 1.2.8 to read:

W: http://example.com/InRelease: Signature by key
0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF01234567 uses weak digest algorithm
(SHA1)

The other message:

W: Failed to fetch http://example.com/InRelease No Hash entry in Release
file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/example.com_InRelease, which is
considered strong enough for security purposes

now has an E in front of it:

E: Failed to fetch http://example.com/InRelease No Hash entry in Release
file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/example.com_InRelease, which is
considered strong enough for security purposes

This should hopefully clarify things and be less annoying.
