Yes, but you also have to check which key ID is listed for the
signature.

This command only shows you that the backports archive key (16BA136C)
has the usual self signature (note the same key ID):

You have to tell gpg which key's signatures it should check. If you
really want to know what is going on then you should first look at the
list of signatures for the backports key:



$ gpg --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-backports-keyring.gpg --list-sig 16BA136C
pub   1024D/16BA136C 2005-08-21

uid                  Backports.org Archive Key
sig          7E7B8AC9 2005-11-20  [User ID not found]
sig          657BF03D 2006-05-27  [User ID not found]
sig 3        16BA136C 2005-08-21  Backports.org Archive Key
sig 3        16BA136C 2005-08-21  Backports.org Archive Key
sub   2048g/5B82CECE 2005-08-21
sig          16BA136C 2005-08-21  Backports.org Archive Key


You see that the key has been signed with two other keys, 7E7B8AC9 and
657BF03D. These keys are not included in debian-backports-keyring.gpg
and they are also not on my user's default keyring, therefore gpg cannot
provide any information besides the key IDs. If you replace "--list-sig"
with "--check-sig" in the above command you will get "2 signatures not
checked due to missing keys". However, if you tell gpg to include the
keyring from the debian-keyring package, you can verify that one of the
signatures was made by a Debian developer:

1 signature not checked due to a missing key



The second signature (657BF03D) is meaningless to you, unless you can
establish trust in this person by some other means. You can of course
find this second key on a keyserver, but anyone can upload keys to the
keyservers.



Note that the "--list-sig" command also makes sure that there is no
bogus 7E7B8AC9 key on my user's default keyring since the key is not
known until I point gpg to the Debian keyring.

Apt(itude) lists the key IDs when it complains about missing keys.

You are again running an unverified installation script as root. How do
you know that your other keyrings, the gpg binary itself and the rest of
your system are still trustworthy after that?

Here is a procedure for paranoid people, starting after your step 2; all
these commands should be run as an unprivileged user. (The key is
extracted manually and added to the unprivileged user's keyring; then it
can be checked without risk.)



aptitude download debian-backports-keyring
mkdir tempdir


dpkg-deb -X debian-backports-keyring_2007.06.10_all.deb tempdir/
mv tempdir/usr/share/keyrings/debian-backports-keyring.gpg .
rm -rf tempdir/

gpg --import debian-backports-keyring.gpg
gpg --list-sig 16BA136C
gpg --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg --check-sig 16BA136C


If the key has a valid signature of a Debian developer then you can
export it and add it to apt's key ring. (See my earlier mail.) After
that you can install the desired backports packages, including the
backports keyring package for convenience in case of future key updates.



BTW, the debian-multimedia archive is a special case since Christian
Marillat does not use a dedicated archive key; he signs the release
files with his normal public key. This key is already included in the
debian-keyring package, so you can simply (and safely) export the key
from this keyring and feed it to apt:



gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg -a --export 1F41B907 | sudo apt-key add -

Message-ID: <1182982792.292312.5220@e9g2000prf.googlegroups.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

I'm trying to build from source apt-transport-https so it will work on
etch.
Currently there is an unstable package but it requires newer versions
of libc and gcc than the ones I want to use on this box.

I got the source by doing apt-get source apt-transport-https on an
unstable system, and it delivered the apt sources.

then I tried to build it.

Question 1. i'm unable to build apt-ftparchive because it complains
that
Must have db2 to build apt-ftparchive

I was able to find libdb1-compat_2.1.3-9_i386.deb and libdb4.3-
dev_4.3.29-8_i386.deb and libdb4.4-dev_4.4.20-8_i386.deb
but none of these packages seems to be waht the build script is
looking for. What do I need to build apt-ftparchive?

Also, after compiling it, I have a bunch of binaries in bin/
I tried "make install" and it said:

make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop

Why is there no install target?

is there an easier way to get apt-transport-https on etch?

I don't know about all titles, I play all the unreal tournament titles
starting with GOTY along with doom3 and quake4. These are the ones that
need hardware. I still play doom and quake3 (ioquake3 now) but these
don't need a lot of computer power but a decent video card is a plus.

I play return to castle wolfenstien once in a while too but find it
crashes after a while, I'm not sure why.

The unreal games all give me good performance but doom3 and quake4 need
more cpu and/or video card than I have to work at their best. I find
they run a bit clunky.

My specs..

CPU: AMD Athlon64 2800+
MEM: 512 Megs
VID: nVidia GeForce FX5700LE (128 Megs) (not high end)

After learning how to make these things work I find they work just as
well or better under linux than windows. We must remember though that a
lot of these games were not developed for linux and so the linux port
hasn't had the development that their windows counterparts have.

Anyway, that's my $0.02.. :) 


Don't know where to look next?X

That thread (and the others linked from it) may shed some light on why
there is no official package.

Subject: Iceape chokes on PDFs
Message-ID: <slrnf860l6.m5n.spambait@truffula.sj.ca.us>

[This message has also been posted to linux.debian.user.]

After I dist-upgraded sarge to etch, I switched from
the Mozilla binary Seamonkey to Etch's Iceape.
When Seamonkey got a PDF, it would open a dialog
to open with Kpdf or save.
Iceape just displays an empty page.  The title
bar says
<name>.pdf (application/pdf Object) - Iceape

In Preferences, under Navigator Helper Applications,
application/pdf says When encountered, Open these
files with kpdf %s.  Editing, I see it's really
/usr/bin/kpdf %s.  But when I click OK, I get a Warning
dialog.  "? Iceape can handle this type internally.  For
such types, a Helper Application will only be invoked
if the server requests external handling."

Obviously, Iceape can not "handle this type internally"
nor would I want it to.  How do I disable this brokenness
and restore the Mozilla functionality?

Try using the aptitude UI to remove/purge the tasks 'desktop, gnome, kde'=20
while selecting to hold/install xserver-xorg and twm. It may take a few=20
minutes to remove all of those packages, if you have a full DE installed.

Hey Florian,

It turns out I did not installed xterm package. Install xterm
eliminate the problem. Now I got my Xserver up and running. Thanks
very much for you patience guide through. I do really appreciate it.

By the way can you tell me what is a x-terminal-emulator do?

Thanks again!

authorship is surely insufficient but why don't you take into account
these also:
 - Microsoft is a company with 95% share in the office suits
 - convicted for monopoly practises some years before
   - continuously prosecuted for the same reason ever after
   - unwilling(to put it lightly) to comply to European Union's court
rulings to make their products interoperable
 - strongly(to put it lightly) opposed to an evolving open standard
for office documents

anyway, IMHO: even if RTF is "open" under some interpretation it's not
to be used as a critical component of OS SW. You will have noticed
already that it's hard to find the license for the implementation of
RTF. Have you? Hundreds of pages of technical documentation and no
license makes me nervous and it's *THE* reason for me not to use RTF
when the licensor is a company like Microsoft and I want to help it's
main competitor.

You can run

aptitude search '~Px-terminal-emulator|~Gx11::terminal'

to get a list of Debian packages which provide an x-terminal-emulator.

Debian has a system of 'alternative' of which x-terminal-emulator is a
part. That command points to (via a symbolic link) the specific program
that provides the xterm funtionality. Gcc, www-browser,x-www-browser are
other examples of 'alternative' symbolic links.

YES it works:-) I can finally see upto 2.97 GB. This seems to support
upto 4GB of memory.  Though there was this quirk with nvidia's
installer :
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2007/05/msg00172.html

But thanks to Julian,
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2007/05/msg03239.html)
I got almost everything sorted out. I had to remove some symlinks and
header files manually, nvidia-installer didnot remove them.

I looked around a little more and yes, I don't need the virtualization.

I am not sure what is intended here, but I did search around (mostly
on packages.debian.org) and came up with the above mentioned kernels.
The finer distinctions between them was not available from the package
descriptions. And that is where the mailing list comes to help.

Once again, thanks Andrew.

Thanks, Florian.

I suppose that you can check that Joerg Jaspert is a Debian developer by
checking the Debian developer database [1].
