this is indeed a real bug. Thanks for reopening this so that I don't forget to handle this for my next upload. > Alternately, maybe the requirement to run --keygen could be relaxed? That would require some version detection mechanism I suppose. I don't think it is useful to have sbuild in stable be able to run with old gnupg as the next stable release will have the correct gnupg version available. So if the requirement is relaxed, then it is purely useful for sbuild in backports. I don't know if our current sbuild backporter Luca (in CC) would be willing to write such a patch, especially considering that - it is a feature of sbuild since version 0.67.0 (I corrected the wiki page accordingly) to *not* require signing of the internal dummy repository (and thus you don't need to run sbuild-update --keygen anymore) and that - the next stable release is not far away. Thanks! cheers, josch
