Summary0001686: Installing SkyChart 4.0 reports uses weak digest algorithm (SHA1)
DescriptionInstalling SkyChart 4.0 on Ubuntu 16.04 returns

W: http://www.ap-i.net/apt/dists/stable/InRelease: Signature by key 5247B5CB921337EBBEFB0A5FC56CCB02D79BF92A uses weak digest algorithm (SHA1)

warning when: sudo apt-get update
command is executed
Steps To ReproduceIf I am not mistaken I have already reported very similar problem with stable PPA and the response was that this problem is going to be fixed when new 4.0 stable version will be released.

But it looks like this is not fixed.
Additional InformationThis info from Ubuntu install documentation https://www.ap-i.net/skychart/en/documentation/installation_on_linux_ubuntu is also now confusing:

===============
3. Add Patrick Chevalley's signature to APT:
The old key used for the current stable version:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys D79BF92A


The new key used for the current development and the future stable version:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys AA716FC2
===============

Which key is now correct? Can you please fix this SHA-1 warning and also clean step 3 from documentation.
TagsNo tags attached.

This is a mandatory step to solve the issue without breaking the configuration of existing user of the stable release.

The current package for 4.0 is signed with the old key so system having only the old key (D79BF92A) can upgrade to 4.0.
The package install the new key as a part of the install process (AA716FC2).

In one or two weeks, after most system are upgraded, I redo the package to remove the key installation and sign with the new key.

The documentation will be updated after this last step as you currently need the old D79BF92A to install the stable version.

Because of more error with 16.10 I change the signature today.

Now only AA716FC2 signature is used and the new package skychart_4.0-3575b no more install the new key.

People that not upgrade to 4.0 before today must install the new key before they can get the the new version:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys AA716FC2
