[LUG] Debian Etch apt-get update problem

 

Been away for a week and while away turned off my machine. Got back last
night , turned on and ran apt-get update and received the following error

W: GPG error: http://security.debian.org etch/updates Release: Unknown
error executing gpgv
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

Needless to say rerunning apt-get update did nothing. Packages were
downloaded and apt-get upgrade worked (with the exception of gnucash-docs
that was held back. No idea why, have not looked yet)

On google the common reason mentioned for this error is wrong gpg keys but

-   apt-key list showed that I have the current key
-   apt-key update did nothing

Any suggestions gratefully received
