Hi, I'm trying to verify the Debian's Release file but to no avail:
$gpg --keyserver keyring.debian.org --keyserve r-options auto-key-retrieve --verify Release.gpg Release gpg: Signature made 10/9/2021 11:35:49 AM Romance Daylight Time gpg: using RSA key 0146DC6D4A0B2914BDED34DB648ACFD622F3D138 gpg: requesting key 0x648ACFD622F3D138 from hkp://keyring.debian.org gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. gpg: Total number processed: 0 gpg: Can't check signature: No public key gpg: Signature made 10/9/2021 11:35:49 AM Romance Daylight Time gpg: using RSA key A7236886F3CCCAAD148A27F80E98404D386FA1D9 gpg: requesting key 0x0E98404D386FA1D9 from hkp://keyring.debian.org gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. gpg: Total number processed: 0 gpg: Can't check signature: No public key gpg: Signature made 10/9/2021 11:49:02 AM Romance Daylight Time gpg: using RSA key A4285295FC7B1A81600062A9605C66F00D6C9793 gpg: issuer "debian-release@lists.debian.org" gpg: requesting key 0x605C66F00D6C9793 from hkp://keyring.debian.org gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. gpg: Total number processed: 0 gpg: Can't check signature: No public key $ gpg --locate-keys debian-release@lists.debian .org gpg: error retrieving 'debian-release@lists.debian.org' via WKD: Certificate exp ired gpg: error reading key: Certificate expired The Release file and signature file are downloaded from (1) and (2).
