Lost GPG Key Problem Solved in Ubuntu Lucid!
Hello,
I had the same problem on my lucid installation. Here's how I solved it:
I had another system with the same distribution installed. It did NOT have the libreadline.so libraries in /usr/local/lib. The GPG keys WERE visible to my apt system (and System/Administration/Software Sources, etc.)
I copied the good libraries and links from my installed system. They were in /lib and /usr/lib.
I copied them into /lib/ and /usr/lib the malfunctioning system.
I deleted the copy of libreadline.so.6.1 in /usr/local/lib. This left me with a bunch of broken symbolic links.
I created a link pointing /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.6 to /lib/libreadline.so.6
The broken links came back to life and my keys automagically reappeared. All is working.
The problem was, apparently, that the (extra) copy of libreadline.so.6 in /usr/local/lib was not the proper one. The remaining problem is that, now that my system is working, I can't replicate the fix to confirm that the problem was solely in /usr/local/lib.
Summary:
If the problem was solely with that entry, as I suspect, then the WHOLE FIX would be to DELETE the /usr/local/lib copy of libreadline.so.6 and REPLACE IT with a LINK to /lib/libreadline.so.6
Good Luck
