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

[Colin Watson]

Checking signatures is intentional, but can't you use debootstrap --no-
check-gpg?

Perhaps the real bug here is that germinate-update-metapackage doesn't
offer a way to pass either custom options or this particular option
through to debootstrap?

** Package changed: debootstrap (Ubuntu) => germinate (Ubuntu)

Title:
  debootstrap fails if ubuntu-keyring installed and release signed by
  other

Status in “germinate” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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
