grml-debootstrap: troubles with debian keyring
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 ;-)

Thx for your report and sorry for the late reply but I wanted to test it on one of my older grml installations. It just happens with old releases and not with the current one. Furthermore the keyring doesn't get changed too often and it would be complicated to filter rare error messages. So I think it's not necessary to implement another message handler and hope it's ok for you to just use the new release ;-)

Great :-)

I agree. The hotfix is already done, Google finds this thread :) May I suggest to mention this rare issue somewhere in the documentation, wiki, manpage...? I would be willing to write some sentences when you point me the correct place.
