Install packages like smuxi on debian without backports-keyring

Today I was a little bit tired as I came home but I just wanted to install the new Smuxi 0.7 release on my Debian/Lenny Desktop PC. Now I will write just a small tutorial.

First, get the public key of Mirco Bauer (Key-ID: EEF946C8):

apt-key adv –keyserver  pgp.surfnet.nl –recv-keys <keyid>

After that, add the key to apt:

apt-key export <keyid> | apt-key add -

Then you have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://debian.meebey.net/lenny-backports/smuxi      /

At least you just have to install smuxi with apt-get install -t / “package”
I don’t have any idea why the packages cannot be authenticated. I just wanted to tell you how to import and add a gpg key, actually.

Cheers,
ikkerus

    Thanks for the tip. On this date, some 10 months after your orignal post, there’s a new issue: lenny doesn’t provide the latest mono packages smuxi relies on; so my smuxi-server refuses connection from newer clients (even though I added deb http://debian.meebey.net/lenny-backports/mono / in sources.list. Any way you went around that problem ?
