Release BADSIG 85A3D26506C4AE2A

Thu Jun 16 04:47:33 UTC 2011

When updating (aptitude update), the error seen is:

W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is
not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error:
http://mozilla.debian.net experimental Release: The following signatures
were invalid: BADSIG 85A3D26506C4AE2A Debian Mozilla team APT archive
<pkg-mozilla-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>

This appears to be due to an incorrect redirect to get the Release
file.

mobius:/var/lib/apt$ cat lists/mozilla.debian.net_dists_experimental_Release
<html>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" Content="0;
URL=http://122.160.230.125:8080/vta/redirectedPage.do">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1">
<head>
<title>Redirect</title>
</head>
<body>
If you are not redirected, <a
href="http://122.160.230.125:8080/vta/redirectedPage.do">click here</a>
</body>
</html>

Manually getting the Release file from
http://mozilla.debian.net/dists/experimental/Release and placing the
contents into the file above seems to fix the problem.

My sources.list is:

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ff6.list 
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ experimental iceweasel-6.0
