Hi all
I'm trying to get correct keys into the debian keyring so that I can verify
packages from apt-get sources
and I'm having some problems. The procedure below was worked out by googling on
the warning message from apt-get.
Basically one needs to find some site that has a key for the missing packages I
presume.
~$ sudo apt-get update
Get:1 http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au testing Release.gpg [189B]
Hit http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au testing Release
Ign http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au testing Release
Hit http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au testing/main Packages
Get:2 http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org testing Release.gpg [189B]
Hit http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org testing Release
etc....
Reading package lists... Done
W: GPG error: http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au testing Release: The following
signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available:
NO_PUBKEY 010908312D230C5F
W: GPG error: http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org testing Release: The following
signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available:
NO_PUBKEY 010908312D230C5F
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
So I look for keyservers like this:
~$ host -l pgp.net | grep www
!!! keys.at.pgp.net MX host li04.adis.at does not exist
www.at.pgp.net. A 195.64.0.35
www.au.pgp.net. A 128.232.0.23
binwww.pgp.net. A 128.232.0.23
pick one .....
~$ gpg --keyserver http://www.au.pgp.net --recv-keys 010908312D230C5F
gpg: requesting key 2D230C5F from http server www.au.pgp.net
gpgkeys: key 010908312D230C5F not found on keyserver
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0
If it was found I'd then do this:
$ gpg --export -a 2D230C5F | sudo apt-key add -
$ apt-get update
What am I doing wrong ? I have tried a few keyservers but all reply with the
same message.
