Re: Debian derivatives census: dpkg vendor information



If /etc/dpkg/origins/default does not include "Vendor: Debian", apt-get
source verification breaks when running "apt-get source package".

gpgv: Can't check signature: public key not found

(Full output of an example run is attached below. [1])

Can this be fixed? Is this a bug or missing feature?

I think it might be caused by dpkg. [2]
