You mean amd64 sarge users still have a BADSIG error when running apt-get update? makki:/home/ecashin# apt-get update ... Reading package lists... Done W: GPG error: http://amd64.debian.net stable Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG E415B2B4B5F5BBED Debian AMD64 Archive Key <[email protected]> W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems If not, I suppose sarge isn't using the public key crypto stuff, which would explain why this still hasn't been fixed. However, then the question would be: if sarge isn't using public key crypto, why is the release file signed at all? So if the Release file has a bad signature, who would be the one to remove the signature? I wouldn't mind contacting that person. -- Ed L Cashin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
