Which keyserver to use for debian?
I'm getting the "public key is not available" type error on trying to
upgrade my box from lenny to squeeze.
I have a vauge understanding of gpg/public keys/private keys, but only
vague, and I've found these two commands online which I believe will fix
my problem:
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 55BE302B
gpg -a --export 55BE302B | sudo apt-key add -
(where 55BE302B is the last half or so of the pubkey that is listed in
the error)
My problem is that I don't know what keyserver to use. I have no idea if
"subkeys.pgp.net" is a safe keyserver. So I've been googling for
something like "official debian keyserver", or any keyservers on the
debian.org domain. I found keyring.debian.org, but it doesn't know of my
missing key, and I get the impression it's a limited keyserver for use
by debian developers.
So, how do I know subkeys.pgp.net is a safe keyserver? Or is there an
official keyserver for debian users?
Thanks!
