[LUG] Tor Admins Need a Smack

 

In case anyone else is seeing this during dist-upgrade and wondering
what on earth they are doing:

...
Reading package lists... Done
W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository
is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error:

were invalid: KEYEXPIRED 1409325681 KEYEXPIRED 1409325681 KEYEXPIRED

Yes, they let their GPG signing key expire *again* - this is not the
first time they've done this either. I have the greatest respect for all
the work the Tor team have done but their packager really needs to pull
their finger out: it's not like an automated check would be trivial to
arrange or anything... *rolls eyes*

Hell, he could even have stuck a post-it to his noteboard or something,
this is as stupid as forgetting to renew your domain or SSL certs and
then looking like a moron on the entire internet.

According to https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/12994 they
hopefully will get around to fixing it "Sundayish".
