Hi,

First time using a Debian mailing list. Sorry if this is done in an
untraditional fashion or is the wrong place to report this.

Release: Debian/Jessie
Packages: Iceweasel beta (36.0~b1-1), pkg-mozilla-archive-keyring (1.1)
Source: http://mozilla.debian.net/ experimental iceweasel-beta

When trying to update Iceweasel I was met with the following error:

    $ sudo apt-get install -t experimental iceweasel
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    Suggested packages:
    fonts-oflb-asana-math mozplugger
    The following packages will be upgraded:

    WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!

The appropriate keyring is working:

    $ apt-key --keyring
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/pkg-mozilla-archive-keyring.gpg finger
    /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/pkg-mozilla-archive-keyring.gpg
    ------------------------------------------------------

    uid                  Debian Mozilla team APT archive <
pkg-mozilla-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>

However it seems that there's a missing
'mozilla.debian.net_dists_experimental_Release.gpg' file:

    $ ls -l /var/lib/apt/lists | grep -i mozilla.debian.net
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  81K 16.01.15 12:49
mozilla.debian.net_dists_experimental_iceweasel-beta_binary-amd64_Packages
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  81K 16.01.15 12:49
mozilla.debian.net_dists_experimental_iceweasel-beta_binary-i386_Packages
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7.0K 17.01.15 08:09
mozilla.debian.net_dists_experimental_Release

Checksum is matching, so the .deb seems to be ok.

    $ sha256sum iceweasel_36.0~b1-1_amd64.deb
    f9d488ec7841a9066a959cec28e4f88bfc9021aac55bc6612c1e1752d96ad7f5
iceweasel_36.0~b1-1_amd64.deb


http://mozilla.debian.net/dists/experimental/iceweasel-beta/binary-amd64/Packages
    SHA256: f9d488ec7841a9066a959cec28e4f88bfc9021aac55bc6612c1e1752d96ad7f5

Could this be an error introduced when the repo was updated 16-Jan-2015
11:49? I'm not
too familiar with how these repositories work, so please excuse any
inaccuriaces. Thanks!

Regards,
Tim Sæterøy
