There are at least 6 or 7 open bugs reports (the oldest with an age of 188 days), talking about this problem. So a question to the apt and debian-keyring maintainers: What about - updating debian-role-keys.gpg to contain the 2006 archiv key - fixing apt-key to not try to read non-existing keyrings and instead read debian-role-keys.gpg - instead trying to remove all keys found in the non-existing debian-archive-removed-keys.gpg, remove all keys, being expired and found in debian-role-keys.gpg - let apt-key update the keyring 1 month before the key expires (needs updating the debian-role-keys.gpg also one month before a role key expires) OR - add the missing /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg and /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-removed-keys.gpg now Are there concerns or objections?
