Well I am having problems with gpg. The FAQ tells me to click on a hotlink. When I do that a pop-up called Archive Manager offers to store the download in the root directory (/). Is this really what should be allowed to happen? This is a very strange "security" step, IMHO. And, if not in the root directory, where should it be put? And then what is to be done to tell apt-get about it? IMHO, the FAQ answer is too terse. Is there a package that I can download and install from the command line rather than using something really opaque for Gnome? > 5.
