====== Devuan apt update error ======

Running ''apt update'' on my Devuan machine today results in these:

It turns out that the keyring has been rebuilt ([[https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5211|read post #7]]). More than one way to fix it - I choose this one:
<code bash>
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
apt update --allow-insecure-repositories
apt install devuan-keyring --allow-unauthenticated
</code>

//**note:** removing all in list may be overkill - maybe try removing just deb.devuan.org_merged_dists_chimaera_InRelease instead? keep in mind that some pc may still use pkgmaster.devuan.org//

All is well now... and that is all I have to say about that.
