to happen to you.

And it's better to repeat it three times:
http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.o...ild/secring.gpg
http://ftp.belnet.be/linux/debian-a...ild/secring.gpg
http://ftp.belnet.be/pub/mirror/deb...ild/secring.gpg

I haven't checked lately, but at least some of those used to be:
(a) secret keys used in regression tests,
(b) honeypots and
(c) findable via google but not downloadable

If you ignore the:

gpg: WARNING: This key has been revoked by its owner!
gpg: This could mean that the signature is forgery.
gpg: reason for revocation: Key has been compromised
gpg: revocation comment: Compromised on the uid/gid remapping on alioth

perhaps.

Quite the contrary; they *love* collateral damage. If they can make
you miserable enough, maybe you'll stop using email entirely. Once
enough people do that, then there'll be no legitimate reason left for
anyone to run an SMTP server, and the spam problem will be solved.

Heh, had to refresh the key to get *that* :D I already had that key in
my keyring unrevoked.
