Hi, It appears that http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/Release.gpg is only being signed with the new key, not the old, so it is not trusted.
Lenny security updates are being signed with both keys, but there does not seem to be a newer version of debian-archive-keyring there, so I'm not sure what the trust path from the old key the new is supposed to be. From the announcement, it sounded like the Release file was supposed to be signed with both keys, but it isn't. I initially tried the Monday after the announcement, and thought it would most likely get fixed after a few days, but still no luck. For reference, on lenny an apt-get update ends with the following error: W: There is no public key available for the following key IDs: 9AA38DCD55BE302B W: GPG error: http://ftp.us.debian.org lenny Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 9AA38DCD55BE302B W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems Of course if you then try to install the new debian-archive-keyring it gives you a big warning that it is untrusted. Anyways, sorry if I'm sending this to the wrong place, but I hope you guys can fix it.
