Debian keyring error: "No keyring installed"
- by donatello
I have a Debian Squeeze EC2 AMI. On booting up an instance with it and trying to install packages with apt-get I get errors saying there is no keyring installed. Here is the error with apt-get update:

Googling around didn't really help me fix this problem. I tried installing the packages "debian-keyring" and "debian-archive-keyring" but the error does not go away. I'd like to avoid installing unstrusted packages. Any help is appreciated! Why does this error happen and where can I learn more?
