Thanks for the script Mark. Now all the keys are properly installed. But no joy yet.
Checking GPG signatures... Unknown signature /var/cache/apt/archives/libgpod_0.3.0-1.pm.1_i586.rpm: (SHA1) DSA sha1 md5 (GPG) NOT OK (MISSING KEYS: GPG#27db6f5b) E: Error(s) while checking package signatures: 0 unsigned package(s) 1 package(s) with unknown signatures 0 package(s) with illegal/corrupted signatures E: Handler silently failed
Any other ideas? Is there some way to change the signature to the correct one?
No, not that I'm aware of. If you google for GPG#27db6f5b you should be able to find the correct key and install it manually. I did this once, but don't recall exactly how. I know I downloaded the actual key file, but then the memory gets foggy... Instead, you could try removing the apt-repository that has this problematic file from your sources list. You could also try specifying an earlier version of the problem software. Something like: `apt-get -V install libgpod=0.2.9` You will have to use `apt-cache showpkg libgpod` to find out exactly what versions are available. And at long last, you could try waiting a few days. I've had issues with apt repositories before that were fixed in a few days after the error was noticed. And continue to run apt-get update to make sure apt is aware of the latest packages and signature files. HTH Mark
