I added a workaround and some instrumentation to my test suite (push to come soon). I found that many (but not all) of the failing invocations look like this
gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --homedir /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.yLlu1bwwPI --no-auto-check-trustdb --trust-model always --batch --import I think this is during an invocation of apt-key by reprepro. Retrying those after 10s with the same options and command line seems to mostly work... Ian. -- Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> These opinions are my own. If I emailed you from an address @fyvzl.net or @evade.org.uk, that is a private address which bypasses my fierce spamfilter.
