Terminus

It has been a few months since I powered up the Monolith and I wanted to charge the battery. I brought everything up and while charging the battery I normally do an 'apt-get update' on every node so I can keep them current. Today I ran into this at the end of the update run.

When you see this you can resolve by issuing:

sudo aptitude install debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring

There should be a more graceful way but this will resolve it for you.

I added this to my cfengine config on the master server

i.e. node.conf
debian-keyring action=install
debian-archive-keyring action=install

which should make sure every other node is functional and updated now.

If that doesn't work you may have to just upgrade debian-archive-keyring.
