Right. So far it hasn't but I get what you are saying. I don't believe, 
however, that I ran for weeks getting redirected to the same mirror and 
getting the same error and then at the moment I switched my settings the 
mirror changed and solved the problem by coincidence. Clearly the change 
had an impact. So that's good.

Right, for the key issue, that has taken me right back to where I started:

W: There is no public key available for the following key IDs:
1397BC53640DB551

Now that is the only complaint, which is a significant improvement on 
where I started thanks to the fixed mirror, but the key ID issue isn't 
solved.

I tried naming the file linux_signing_key.pub.asc and 
linux_signing_key.pub.gpg.asc .

Neither worked (in the sense that the warning above appeared). Since 
this is the warning I was getting to start with, it almost feels like 
this file is either not being read (although naming it ending .gpg 
causes mayhem so I guess it is) or it doesn't contain what I need. I 
downloaded it using the wget command above except without the -qO- 
because I wanted to see what wget was doing and I didn't want the 
downloaded result going to standard output.

Possibly stupid question -- this is Jessie, does this mechanism of 
dropping the files in trusted.gpg.d work properly in Jessie or is it 
new?
