You need to import the public key for volatile.debian.org separately
using
apt-key if you want to use this repo with secure apt, the key is not
included in the default debian-archive-keyring package.
Thanks,

Two questions:

1) How do I import the public key for volatile? (If it's in the fine
manual, then please point me to it so I can RTFM)

2) What's the reasoning behind not including it in the default
debian-archive-keyring package? Is it not recommended that everyone use
volatile for the things like security and spam updates that it provides?
1) Rick, read the message Kushal Kumaran sent to you. It tells you.

2) That is a good question. I have no idea. Oversight perhaps? I am
sure if it wasn't there is a good reason for it, but I have no idea what
it could be.
Let me ask you this Joe.

Would you have the key for Debian-Multimedia in the "Debian Archive
Keyring"?

No, but I might make it a little easier for Debian newbies to find it in
the first place. Something like a simple script that people could use
to install the missing multimedia applications/codecs that almost
everyone wants. Those who don't want them of course wouldn't need or
want to use such a script, but having one available and make it plain
that it was available would stop a lot of people bitching about Debian
not coming with them in the first place.

Somehow I think this issue has been beaten to death already, but it was
before my time. I understand the legal issues involved, but they don't
apply where I live, at least not yet.

Being a Debian associated, but not really an Official Debian repository.
The same goes for volatile. Until they become FULL ON FRIENDSHIP Debian
repositories, I don't think it'll get into the "debian-archive-keyring"

Point well taken. I agree with on this one. I said I didn't know why,
^you
now I do. Personally I don't use that repo, so I don't know that much
about it. Thank you for informing me.

Joe

I need to learn to proofread my mail before I hit the send key. How can
I miss putting the word you in the above (where I corrected it)
