[Apt-offline-devel] Questions about apt-offline

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

George, Thanks.

I am not sure why your signature file is a little differently generated than 
what I have. Anyways, this gives room to make assumptions more clean and 
robust. 
I have fixed the problem and did a test with the signature file you provided. 
Everything seems to be working.

In case you would like to test, I have put up the archive file at [1]. Let me 
know your results.
