I'm not very fluid with gnupg, but first, the README section you're citing starts with the clear statement: ,[ README ] | Using the debian-keyring with gpg | - | | Add these lines to the bottom of your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf[1] file: | | keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg | keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.pgp ` And this _does not work_. > Should we close this bug? Second, I may be lacking the necessary insight how gnupg works, but IIRC, when I included the given "keyring" lines in ~/gpg.conf, it was not the procedure of "editing or signing keys in the Debian keyring" that failed, but the procedure of importing (any) keys in my private keyring. This is different from what the paragraph you cited speaks about. HAND, Nikolaus

You just missed the next paragraph in the README, telling you , | GPG cannot modify keys in these root-owned files. In order to edit or | sign keys in the Debian keyring you will first need to import them to | your personal keyring. If ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf lists the debian-keyring | files, keys already in the Debian keyring will not be imported to your | personal keyring. You can use "gpg --no-options --import" to force | GPG to ignore gpg.conf and import keys to your personal keyring only. ` Should we close this bug?

Package: debian-keyring Version: 2005.05.28 Severity: normal Hi, as suggested in the debian-keyring README, I've added the Debian keyrings directly: ,[ ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf ] | keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg | keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.pgp | keyserver wwwkeys.de.pgp.net ` Here's a typescript of what happens importing a key: penelope[nikolaus]$ gpg --recv-keys gpg: requesting key from hkp server wwwkeys.de.pgp.net gpg: key : public key "" imported gpg: can't create `/usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg.tmp': Read-only file system gpg: failed to rebuild keyring cache: file open error gpg: can't create `/usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.pgp.tmp': Read-only file system gpg: failed to rebuild keyring cache: file open error gpg: 3 marginal(s) needed, 1 complete(s) needed, PGP trust model gpg: depth: 0 valid: 1 signed: 0 trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 1u gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: imported: 1 penelope[nikolaus]$ Have a nice day, Nikolaus -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-deb.240306 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
