Debian: Upgrade Etch to Lenny, and error message “There is no public key available for the following key IDs: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”
by Ali on Feb.15, 2009, under Debian
It’s pretty easy to upgrade your Etch to Lenny. Open your repo list and replace all references to “etch” with “lenny”. To edit your sources.list:
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Then update your repositories:
aptitude update
and proceed to upgrade:
aptitude dist-upgrade
I ran into an error when I was updating my repositories: “There is no public key available for the following key IDs: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”. To fix that error:
gpg --recv-key --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
gpg --export xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | apt-key add -
Replace xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the key you see in the error message and run aptitude update again.
