[RESOLVED] apt-get update -> Unknown error executing gpgv

[oracel]

This happens after running apt-get update:

Hit [url]http://no.archive.ubuntu.com[/url] breezy-updates/restricted Sources

W: GPG error: [url]http://no.archive.ubuntu.com[/url] breezy-updates Release: Unknown error executing gpgv
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

What to do? (no, apt-get update doesn't work (no, really it doesn't!!))

When I run gpgv, I get this:

[andreas@Slappy:~] $ gpgv
gpgv: keyblock resource `/home/andreas/.gnupg/trustedkeys.gpg': general error

And when I check, there is no such file as trustedkeys.gpg in that directory. However there is a file by the name trustdb.gpg.

Re: [RESOLVED] apt-get update -> Unknown error executing gpgv

I simply did apt-get dist-upgrade and the problem went away. I wonder why it says I have to do apt-get update when what I really have to do is apt-get dist-upgrade..

Anyway I had to accept packages that could not be verified, so this is still suboptimal and shouldn't happen.
