Yes, the signature was changing (with build process).

Please download and install updated apt-conf binary package by
hand, then apt should work again.

Sorry, we should have announced this in community-en@ too --
didn't know there _are_ Sisyphus users here.

If grokking automated translations (like babelfish.altavista.com
or translate.ru's) is OK with you, please look at those of
http://www.freesource.info/wiki/AltLinux/ZamechanijaPoObnovleniju
-- we sorta maintain the mine map there.

In short, after the key has been changed, there was also:

* an alert that using Linux 2.6.12's vfat driver in sync mode 
  is especially deadly for Flash media (syncs are being done on
  virtually every operation, rapidly starving FAT area)
* xorg upgrade could break *dm logins -- /etc/X11/xinit.d/xkb
  would better get replaced with a script pasted in
  http://lists.altlinux.ru/pipermail/sisyphus/2005-August/066256.html
  (well could have been fixed already, don't know)
* xorg upgrade to 6.9RC will render current version of ATI fglrx
  incompatible (updated version should ship at the end of the
  month).  Brave souls can join free "ati" driver testing, 
  since the updated one should support R300-based cards too
* firefox-1.0.6-alt3 is broken [updated since]
* etcnet-0.7.11-alt1 is broken [too]
* DejaVu fonts v1.13 has broken DejaVu Sans Mono; upstream's
  notified but it's proposed to stick with 1.12 for the time being

PS: I'm quite sorry for such a request but how many of us are
here, actually?  Maybe we could consider bridging things somehow.
