Re: [Bug: 21.4.15] PUI package update not usable without Norbert's public key

================================================================ Dear Bug Team! When I execute #'package-get-update-base or #'pui-list-packages (via menu "Tools / Packages / Update Package Index" or "Tools / Packages / List and Install"), I get the message Can't check signature: Public key 82EDF2C1D1DD84CD not found Installation is not possible, PUI does not appear. As you can see from the transcript below, I use GPG and mailcrypt discovers this. PGP is not installed. This is xemacs -vanilla; no personal configuration. I would propose to publish on the XEmacs Web site that this is Norbert's key that one needs to install. Or that one can fetch that key from a keyserver. (Or that one can turn on autofetching with GPG, though I don't know if that's a good general recommendation.) In addition, Norbert's key should be put on the XEmacs ftp server, in /ftp/pub/xemacs/pgp-keys/. In particular, the `Quickstart Package Guide' web page says that one might `get some question about keys to fetch or whether to use the index without verifying the signature.' No such question appears when one uses GPG. (I could not check what happens if one uses PGP.) The `XEmacs Installation HOWTO' should also be adapted. I can write up one or two paragraphs for these two web pages if that helps you. I can only cover GPG, though. (I read xemacs-beta, you can answer there.)

Cheers, Joachim
