uses weak digest algorithm (SHA1)

Dear all. Just made a fresh install on a box with Ubuntu 16.x (with php7) and installed everything using the install.sh. but when doing sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade i get message:

W: http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/ubuntu/dists/virtualmin-xenial/Releas... Signature by key 31D2B18872EAF68EFB81F81DE8DD3FA0A0BDBCF9 uses weak digest algorithm (SHA1) W: http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/ubuntu/dists/virtualmin-universal/Rel... Signature by key 31D2B18872EAF68EFB81F81DE8DD3FA0A0BDBCF9 uses weak digest algorithm (SHA1)

What does this mean, and how can this be corrected? Hoing to hear from you all. Regards, paco

Howdy,

That warning is safe to ignore. At some point in the future, the Virtualmin repository will be updated to use stronger hashing algorithms when creating packages.
