As well as reading the docs, where it is said that one must reinsert all keys in the trustdb to take advantage of a new caching algorithm... I just import all the Debian keyring into a work keyring, all at once. It takes no more than 10 minutes in my k6-200. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
