Hi Manoj and Welcome to LQ! :)
Are you still running Etch for a particular reason? The latest Debian release is Lenny and eventually support for Etch will be discontinued (if it hasn't happened yet). apt-get/aptitude remarks prefixed with W: are warnings not errors. Alucard has explained how to make the warning go away. I hope you have other repos in your sources.list file than the ones on your CD. You can comment them out, by the way, just put "#" (without the quotes) at the beginning of the line containing them. cheers, jdk |

Now I am able to update my debian packages. Actually I have worked on device driver development only. So I am a newbie for the application side. Presently I am running a Linux Embedded System Training Institute at my home town. I took this step to increase the popularity of Linux in this part of world (India). I need help of some senior persons for this work. Here Every one works on Windows and I am spreading awareness towards Open Source Community. I am looking for a good presentation on Linux as a Desktop and as a Embedded OS. If our group has any good ppt show for it, then please forward it to me. Thanks again to all for their valuable tips. Regards Manoj |
Just as a future refrence, it's still just a warning message. Some repos (if you choose to use off hand repos) will not have keys, so you'll have to ignore it. I tend to ignore them all, I'll admit I'm lazy.

I am also running Etch and in the same situation as the OP.

I've download the key to my personal keyring using gpg. But before I add it to apt's keyring it would be nice to at least do some verification that I have the correct key. (I.e. one that hasn't been maliciously altered.) Is there at least an officially published fingerprint for it or anything? Thanks. (@jdkaye: I believe Etch is supported until the next release which is expected the first half of next year.) EDIT: OK, I found this "unsecured" (non-https) page which gives a link to the key and lists the fingerprint. Is that the best that can be done at this point? |
