Re: Bug#664654: apt-offline: gpg signature verification is failing



Somewhere down during the development, apt has changed the way it verifies the gpg signatures.

For apt-offline, up till now, I had been using the Release.gpg files. Could someone explain what the new approach is? Or if it is documented, I can try that.
I see no Release.gpg files in apt/lists/partial/ anymore.

I've looked at http://wiki.debian.org/SecureApt but didn't find any new information.

Seems like Wheezy has silently does some changes in the way they handle
signing the update packages for the update files. I have it on my list
but unfortunately haven't had the time to look into it. 

Meanwhile, the workaround it to use the --allow-unauthenticated option
in the install command
