Hi Please note again that this still happens here, with a fresh apt:
# apt-key update ERROR: Can't find the archive-keyring Is the debian-keyring package installed? $ apt-cache policy debian-keyring debian-keyring: Installed: 2005.05.28 Candidate: 2005.05.28 $ apt-cache policy apt apt: Installed: 0.6.43 Candidate: 0.6.43 So this bug still seems being present. In the meantime, unless I misunderstood the whole thing: Could please someone from the apt maintainers tell us how we could proceed locally to workaround this issue until this bug is fixed? That is, is it OK to either manually change the lines ARCHIVE_KEYRING=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg REMOVED_KEYS=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-removed-keys.gpg in /usr/bin/apt-key to something like ARCHIVE_KEYRING=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.pgp REMOVED_KEYS=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-<removed-what-???> or can we safely move the key from debian-keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.pgp and /usr/share/keyrings/debian-<removed-what-???> to /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-removed-keys.gpg to keep /usr/bin/apt-key happy? Or is all this a bug in debian-keyring? Or what am I missing ... :) ... ? Thanks a lot in anticipation.
