I do not see such a line in Squeeze or Sid. What version of apt do you have installed? $ dpkg --status apt | awk '/Version:/{print$NF}' 0.8.10.3+squeeze1 > which gives: > ERROR: no location for the archive-keyring given > > the net-update command is accepted, although it is neither in the man nor > in "apt-key --help" > > "apt-key update" gives no error. > > Is the bug in /etc/cron.daily/apt or in apt-key (or both)? Or is /etc/cron.daily/apt from an version that has already been updated? That line doesn't appear in Lenny, Squeeze or Sid. Are you actualy running Ubuntu? Ubuntu has a call to apt-key in their version of the package. The Debian man page for apt-key says: net-update ... APT in Debian does not support this command and relies on update instead, but Ubuntu's APT does. Bob
