Package: debian-archive-keyring
Version: 2006.11.22
Severity: wishlist
It would be useful if the README file for debian-archive-keyring included a
little more information on how the package is "supposed' to function and how
one can "make use" of the keys it contains when that doesn't happen.
A few examples:
* Archive/release keyrings are used by "apt" versions 0.6 and later;
these versions of the "apt" package contain the the "apt-key" command.
* Normally (i.e. if the apt-key binary is found), the keys contained in
the debian-archive-keyring package will be automatically installed into
apt's trusted keyring by the package's postinst script.
* If the automatic installation of the keys fails, then the user can run
"apt-key update" manually.
It might also be worth mentioning the
http://wiki.debian.org/SecureApt
page.
Thanks.
Nathan
