Hi, first off all, please reply to the mailing-list only, don't reply to me, too. I'm subscribed to the list and receiving two mails, one with mailing-list headers and another without the headers, is asking for trouble. FWIW I'm not an experienced sq user, I'm used to gpg. In the first place I seemingly replied to your request accidentally not to the list, since you usually sent to the list and to me and I probably clicked the email without the mailing list headers.

Ok, you likely wanted to say "no", IOW you run sq wkd get pierre(a)archlinux.org -o $KEY since "yes" would mean you run sq wkd get pierre(a)archlinux.org -$KEY what happened when you run sq wkd get pierre(a)archlinux.org -o $KEY ? Did stdout or stderr return "error: sq doesn't like wkd" ? It does work on my machine • rocketmouse@archlinux /tmp $ KEY=release-key.pgp • rocketmouse@archlinux /tmp $ sq wkd get pierre(a)archlinux.org -o $KEY • rocketmouse@archlinux /tmp $ echo $? 0 • rocketmouse@archlinux /tmp $ /bin/ls -l $KEY -rw-r--r-- 1 rocketmouse rocketmouse 18971 Sep 2 14:03 release-key.pgp Without the error message we (or at least I) cannot help.

the archlinux torrent

Having downloaded the torrent and burned the iso to a dvd I verified the torrent using sha256sum but apparently that wasn't enough since the installation broke part of the way through which means I ought to have used the gpg verification that is available online. What is done with those asc files to verify a download? I used lftp with no options on the command line and maybe that was also a mistake on my part. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
