Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.3
Severity: minor

Subject says it all.
Running "apt-get update" is very unlikely to fix this error message.
And some people might want to not trust certain keys (e.g.
debian-multimedia.org), so seeing this non-working suggestion every day
can be annoying. :-)

"aptitude install debian-archive-keyring" may work, but only once you have successfully downloaded a package list which contains it.

http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/apt/apt_0.5.28.6.tar.gz is another solution to this problem.

I don't believe apt should merely suggest a solution in any case, as it can implement it far more quickly than the user can. If you're not connected to the file server you thought you were, then you have a problem either way.
