[Bug 878481] [NEW] debootstrap fails if ubuntu-keyring installed and release signed by other

[Kyle Nitzsche]

Public bug reported:

In OEM group. I am no longer able to run a meta package update script.

It appears that if ubuntu-keyring is installed, debootstrap requires a
Release.gpg file that is signed  by a key in ubuntu-keyring.

However, OEM releases are signed by another key, so we can no longer
update meta packages.

$ apt-cache policy debootstrap
debootstrap:
  Installed: 1.0.37
  Candidate: 1.0.37
  Version table:
 *** 1.0.37 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
$ apt-cache policy germinate
