Errors in my email: 1) "apt-key" is not a package. The program is included in the "apt" package, which also includes the "apt-get" program. To correct this error, instead use this command:
apt-get update ; apt-get install curl ; curl http://www.debian.org/volatile/etch-volatile.asc | apt-key add - 2) The sarge "apt" package does NOT contain "apt-key". To verify see: http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=apt&version=oldstable&arch=i386 I don't think apt-key existed in any sarge package, so the the command I suggested using won't work in sarge. I won't try to give instructions on how to set up the Sarge signature since I don't have a system to test on, and I wouldn't know if I should add the key to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg or /root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg I apologize for the errors.
