In my case the following (pasting together a couple of shell histories...) seemed to do the trick: apt-get install debian-keyring gpg --import /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg gpg --armor --export 010908312D230C5F 07DC563D1F41B907 07DC563D1F41B907 | apt-key add - ... modulo values of keys (those were the ones aptitude was bitching about). Any harm in exporting root's GPG keys into apt-key?

Glad to see it's finally happening, nonetheless, and appreciate your hints as always. Peace. -- Karsten M.
