> That's your problem. Run

gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg > /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.new
mv /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.new /etc/apt/trusted.gpg

To convert the keybox file back to a key ring.

The gpg command hangs. If I issue it without the pipe I get:

gpg: Go ahead and type your message ...

trusted.gpg appears to be empty, apart from producing the above output. It's 32 bytes long.

I've poked around the gpg command, but I'm not actually sure what this is supposed to achieve. Should there be a "command" as a gpg argument?

Thanks, Pete
