Getting GPG errror-NO_PUBKEY 07DC563D1F41B907 for the ftp://ftp.nerim.net and although I've changes sources.list to all unstable except for http://security.debian.org stable and have apt-get and aptitude updated several times I still get the same update output errors with ETCH being accessed. Noticed that there is a Get:1 http://http.us.debian.org unstable Release.gpg [189B] which might fix the GPG error but haven't upgraded yet. My apt-get update output and sources.list are copied below. Would most appreciate any feedback on this especially any sources.list errors before I proceed too far. Would also appreciate comment on what the new DiffIndex package is that I'm now seeing for the first time. OOOPS, found one etch line in sources not commented out. fixed that and redid everything which fixed the etch hits. However, couldn't install the DiffIndex or Release.gpg packages as apparently they are not packages. Does an upgrade or dist-upgrade take care of the GPG issue and the DiffIndex issue? Also simulated an apt-get upgrade and dist-upgrade also with aptitude and couldn't see anything about GPG or DiffIndex. Aptitude wants to remove as unused some 687 packages that are critical to me such as all of kde, java, all of apt, all of mozilla, etc, etc. Although Debian recommends aptitude as handling dependencies better than apt-get, I find it problematic and that it creates more issues than it solves unless there is some underlying secret in using it that I'm not aware of. All comments to any of these apt issues are most welcome. Maybe I can learn something new. PLZ copy my email as am not subscribed.
