Changing the locks

Hi folks,

Just a quick message to let you know that I've updating my GPG keys because of the issue described at http://www.debian-administration.org/users/dkg/weblog/48.

The new key is available by running gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EC66FA7D. You'll see that it's signed by my old key, 4DAD18FA.

The old key will be knocking around for a while, but I'll start using the new key to sign things straight away.

   -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
   Hash: SHA1

  • -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256

For the sake of records, this little message is signed with the new key and the resulting signed text is signed with the old key. - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux)

For the record, don't rely on FireGPG to verify the text above; it gets confused. Copy it to disk, gpg --verify it and then extract the inner section and remove the whitespace after the first '-' on the nested signature before gpg --verifying the result.
