Ben Hutchings recently discovered that old lenny CDs (5.0.0) currently
fail to install. Phil Kern discovered that this was because they
couldn't validate the security signing key (which was rolled over after
they were released). Originally, lenny security updates were signed
with the old ftpmaster key:
As this key is still valid and present in debian-archive-keyring (even
in unstable) and will be so until well after the end of lenny security
support (which as we understand it is due on 2012-02-06), we intend to
change the lenny security repository to be signed by this key rather
than the current ftpmaster key which is:
If anyone has any objections to this, can they let us know? I intend to
implement the changes necessary to make this work in dak immediately,
but won't change the key over for a couple of days to give people time
to raise objections.
Thanks,
Mark
