One of the basic, regularly recurring tasks of maintaining our Debian or Ubuntu-based servers and systems is updating the package repositories and installed software. I was just doing the usual update cycle on my server these days, which has been a bit behind lately, so I expected that several packages would be updated. However, the update process stopped with interesting messages that drew attention to an important change related to the management of the signing keys of the package repositories.

In all Linux distributions, programs that can be installed on the system are distributed as software packages. Software packages are typically a set of data packaged in a file that contains the software itself, as well as a number of additional information (metadata) about the software, such as package descriptions, installation scripts, dependency data, and so on. Linux distributions maintain their own repositories, into which software packages can only be accessed after strict checks. Packages consist of a package database containing package information and an organized structure of downloadable binary package files.
