Hi Andy,

If I understand what you're saying (other than the current app issue 
:-), I just used the wget twice - once for 2005 and once for 2006.  I 
still get the "Not Authenticated" warning for any selections in Synaptic 
:-(  I even rebooted and tried Synaptic again.

Specifically what I did (in root Terminal) was:

> debian1:/home/leec# wget http://ftp-master.debian.org/ziyi_key_2005.asc -O - | sudo apt-key add - --03:09:57--  http://ftp-master.debian.org/ziyi_key_2005.asc

What I have in /usr/share/apt/ is only debian-archive.gpg and I don't 
want to mess around with trying to view its contents.

What I have in /etc/apt/sources.list is:

Thanks for the reply,
