Here are the simple steps to reproduce my problem (on Ubuntu 8.04). The commands to run, which clearly identify the problem for me, are as follows (please note, the repo fails to download, so don't worry about chewing bandwidth); as root (in ubuntu 8.04 I am): # become root: sudo su - # do test in temp location: target=/tmp/debmirrortmp mkdir $target cd $target # import the supposedly required key: export GNUPGHOME=$target touch trustedkeys.gpg key=55BE302B # <<<--- HERE IT IS, the required key apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys $key apt-key export $key | gpg --keyring trustedkeys.gpg --import - # try mirroring (part of) some debian archive: /usr/bin/debmirror --nocleanup --exclude-deb-section=games --verbose --progress --arch=amd64 --section=main --dist=squeeze --host=ftp.iinet.net.au --method=http --root=pub/debian/debian $target/target-dir And this last command above produces the following output for me: Mirroring to /tmp/debmirrortmp/target-dir from http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/debian/debian/ Arches: amd64 Dists: squeeze Sections: main Including source. Will NOT clean up. Pdiff mode: use. Attempting to get lock, this might take 2 minutes before it fails. Get Release files.
