dial-up (yes .. some of us still are) every 13Mb download is painful ... compared with the 2K (say) that a separate release-signing key would take. Is this 13Mb keyring also needed by the new package-signature-checking apt-get ? Okay - enough from me. Cheers Nick Boyce -- To UNSUBSCRI

aptitude update "BADSIG" Error (getting silly now)

just downloaded. If it's the 'Release' file which has a bad signature, we should just sign it "inline" ("gpg -sa"), rather than with a detached signature - then the file could not get out of step with its signature. If we already do sign it inline then there is a signing problem that may be serious. Er .. er ... And what does "A70DAF536070D3A1" refer to ?
