Update your copy of the Mandos Debian Archive key today!

The key with key ID 153A37F10BBA0435987F2C4A72232973CA34C2C4, used to
sign the Debian packages of the latest version of Mandos which we
provide, will expire *tomorrow*, October 1, 2023.  If you use Debian
packages published by us in your /etc/apt/sources.list file (or
otherwise), you *must* update your key file today in order for your apt
to succeed in updating.  We are sorry for this late annoucement.

The short fix:

su -c wget --timestamping --directory-prefix=/etc/apt/keyrings https://www.recompile.se/mandos/mandos.pgp

(We have updated the key to not expire at all.  Key expiration seemed
like a reasonable idea 10 years ago, but if 4096-bit RSA keys will ever
turn out to be insufficiently secure, we will switch to some more modern
algorithm.)

Note 1:

If you currenly keep your Mandos key in your server's trusted key list
as managed by apt-key(8), we recommend removing it using

apt-key del 153A37F10BBA0435987F2C4A72232973CA34C2C4

and then downloading the key as in the documentation at
<https://www.recompile.se/mandos#Download>, which has been updated to
use the modern methods.  The apt-key command is deprecated, and keeping
the Mandos key in the list of trusted keys is no longer recommended.

Note 2.

If you currently have lines for Mandos in your /etc/apt/sources.list
file, the installation instructions at
<https://www.recompile.se/mandos#Download> have been updated to use the
new Deb822 format and a "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mandos.sources" file
instead of the old way of editing /etc/apt/sources.list.
