I've tried to have a first look at it. So I've installed the nonfree DVD-Image 9.2 within a VirtualBox container. All went fine, until I've tried to update the APT database. Both, apt and Synaptics update fails. In both cases the error reports, that /etc/apt/trusted.gpg is not accessible by user "_apt".

The recommendation I've found was to delete trusted.gpg.

OK, this was a workaround for using apt. Both update and upgrade works without errors. Trying Synaptic leads to the previous behavior. The file trusted.gpg appears again and with this file, the error returns.

It is hard to believe that this bug is known since June and that there is neither a fix nor a solution. Deleting the file has worked for me, but I can't say that there are no side effects.

How should a newbie solve this? Without a work-around there are no updates possible.
