I seem to be having problems with Sisyphus PGP signatures from altlinux.com.
ftp://ftp.altlinux.com/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/Sisyphus/i586/base/release:
Signature fingerprint of Release file does not match (expected
BB1DD157A9722953847C5DB25B433A0EEAC91CA0, got
49B01E70C64124E6742EAE7195C584D5AE4AE412)

Anyone else having this problem?
I'm running ALT Linux Sisyphus (20050702) and I've now switched over to the
ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu repositories.
Thanks,
Aaron

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.

Thanks for all the info. I was able to get apt working again by manually
installing the following from
ftp://ftp.altlinux.com/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/Sisyphus/i586/RPMS.base/.
libapt-0.5.15cnc6-alt16.i586.rpm
apt-0.5.15cnc6-alt16.i586.rpm
apt-conf-sisyphus-1.17-alt2.noarch.rpm
The babelfish Russion to English translator seems to work well. This will
allow me to read the blog that you listed below and read the Russion
postings at bugzilla.altlinux.org. I don't mind doing this.
I don't think there are many folks on this mailing list since it has almost
zero activity but I am a big Alt Linux fan (because I think Sisyphus is
wonderful) and I'd like to continue to have access to help when I run into
issues. Again, I appreciate your response to my post.
Thanks,
Aaron McDonald

Exactly. In fact, I've missed Master 2.4 release on freshmeat
(due to some silly brown paper bag bugs which didn't really help)
but hope that upcoming 3.0 series will be useful, even if quite
different.

Well right now xorg is being revamped quite heavily both
upstream and in Sisyphus, you might want to switch to branch-3.0
(available at ftp://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/beta/) until the dust
settles.

Just post :-) There are several team members here AFAIK.
PS: maybe it's worth understanding what's interesting in Sisyphus
for people not reading Russian... technically, I could understand
at least some moments but community available is usually even
more important: there's no perfect technology, and the downsides
of some particular one are usually compensated by upsides of the
community around.
For one, I'd tell that some of technologies available in Sisyphus
aren't unique by themselves but _are_ unique among free software.
E.g. recent look at strengths and weaknesses of Trustix resulted
in a thought that it's quite the counterpart -- decent marketing,
but quite ancient (on Sisyphus scale, it's 2 to 4 years ago)
technology in a bunch of crucial places like package build
process.
But it's more important to developers, especially on value-added
projects...
