This has been going on for weeks now, I have been hoping in vain that
the issue would clear itself, as Frank suggested, before I posted here.
It doesn't look like it is going to. So, are we saying that
deb.debian.org, http.debian.net and httpredir.debian.org, being the
same, are all "borked"? Doesn't feel right, more people would be up on
their hind legs yelling for footnotes if so, no?
The fix for the key ID issue looks straightforward though, thanks Frank
and others for that. I'll try out this
download-and-put-in-the-right-place approach, that's new to me. Should I
make efforts to remove the old key Google were previously using?
