grml-debootstrap: troubles with debian keyring
by Michael Gissing 29 Apr '11

Hi list! It happened that I had to install debian squeeze with an old (~1 year) version of grml. When running grml-debootstrap it exited with an error, saying something like "E: Release signed by unknown key (key id AE...)" The solution was to update Debian keyring. apt-get update apt-get install debian-archive-keyring At the first moment I had no clue how to solve the issue. So it would be nice if grml-debootstrap recognizes this error and gives the user a hint on how to fix it. Besides that everything ran fine ;-) greetz, Michael
