GPG Signature – Fix Can’t Check Signature

compilingdebgnupg

I was trying to recompile and rebuild libevent2 source from oneiric on my natty server and I had a small error with gpg not being able to check signature

# dpkg-source -x libevent_2.0.12-stable-1.dsc
gpgv: Signature made Fri Jun 17 07:12:50 2011 PDT using DSA key ID 7ADF9466
gpgv: Can't check signature: public key not found
dpkg-source: warning: failed to verify signature on ./libevent_2.0.12-stable-1.dsc

Any idea how to fix this warning?

I believe the conventional solution is to install the GnuPG keys of Debian Developers package:

sudo apt-get install debian-keyring

I got the same problem as you and after checking the man page of dscverify I found a solution:

Add following line to your ~/.devscripts:

DSCVERIFY_KEYRINGS="/etc/apt/trusted.gpg:~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg"
