From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's fixed by now I think ; I never update between projects, so sometimes would go a few months between updates and it hasn't happen anymore. When it did, the fix was simple enough while still annoying of course.

AFAIK now the keyring gets updated first if needed. In the middle of something here, can't try unfortunately - but at the time of the issue, while the first-level answer was "Update All The Things (all the time)", the problem was on the table, and acknowledged as in need of a fix.
