First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify autoconf-2.66.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 2527436A Hi Eric, While your announcement was signed with a key with that fingerprint, the tarball I downloaded was signed with a key with fingerprint F4850180: http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf/autoconf-2.66.tar.bz2 2527436A and F4850180 seem to be cross-signed, which makes foul play an unlikely explanation (it looks like F4850180 is an old SHA1 key you are in the process of replacing), but it would be more reassuring to use the same key for both signatures, or at least give the correct fingerprint for verifying the tarball signatures in the signed announcement email. (Or was this a test to see if anyone actually bothers to verify the signatures?) Cheers, Olly ___ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf

The v2.66 tag in autoconf.git, however, is signed by the new key, and I will be fixing things so that 2.67 will be correctly signed by the new key all around (and given the nature of the regressions in 2.66, it looks like 2.67 is due within a month or so). -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com+1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org ___ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf

Does this (untested) patch fix things for you? Hi Eric, thanks for your prompt reply. Yes, the patch works as expected. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to release 2.67 for another two weeks, but hopefully distros will pick this up if it helps, as part of their distro version of 2.66. OK.
