Hi all. Have two linode 540's, one in fremont, one in dallas running debian.

I generally run apt-get update/upgrade once a week, and usually no surprises. Today I logged in to both, and the first thing I get when doing apt-get update is the following error:

"W: There is no public key available for the following key IDs: xxxxxxxxxxxx"

I fixed this by installing apt-get install debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring then doing apt-get update again.

Now, when I run apt-get upgrade, I get 105 packages that need upgrading, with 41 not upgraded... what the heck? Can anyone explain this little blip? Same exact thing on my Dallas linode... is this a debian upgrade?

Thanks, Paul

Does your /etc/apt/sources.list refer explicitly to "etch", or does it say "stable".

If it's stable, then you're seeing the result of Lenny being released as the new stable.

Here's my /etc/apt/sources.list file...

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main
deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main

So it is indeed trying to pull lenny... so, any opinions on whether i specify etch or move forward with the lenny upgrade, and whether such an 'upgrade' is even recommended via apt?

Thanks!

Etch will be supported for a few years still. Therefore, there is no hurry - you can upgrade when you feel comfortable.

See http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny/i3 ... ng.en.html

When upgrading, remember to use 'dist-upgrade':

apt-get dist-upgrade

That did it, thanks!
