I am getting error messages when attempting to update release and
index files for the repository itself. These are provided, I think, in
the package debian-keyring (so keys search did not work and I had used
other means to find this ;-) But on the affected computer debian-keyring
is shown by aptitude to be not installed. So proper updating must have
stopped when the keys used in the initial install expired. Now I need
to used some direct means, such as wget, or something which I can't
remember, against a special keyring server, whose URL I also can't
remember. I need help remembering. Once I find the page I need, I'm
sure I will have no trouble understanding, and doing what needs to
be done.
And thanks for mentioning (debian-keyring at a minimum) The
descriptive phrase confirmed my guess that this was the one I needed
the contents of. I need an alternative method of getting the contents
since aptitude is in need of new keys to start working again.
Please keep up the good help!
