In chapter 7. Security of the Debian system on page 373:

The first text paragraph on page 373 in section 7.5.1 talks about the archive key, which was signed by one of the FTP masters, Anthony Towns. Later in the paragraph, Anthony suddenly becomes James. It should just say Anthony all along

Discussion

When the section in question was written (in 2004), the archive key had been signed by James Troup, who is also an FTP master. When the delay of sarge pushed the release of this book into 2005, I chose to rework the sections with the new key for 2005, which had been signed by Anthony Towns instead. Obviously, I was not careful about the change.

Feedback

Chad Laity, Cariboo Computer Magazine: Kudos to Martin F. Krafft for putting together one excellent book about the concepts and techniques for the Debian Linux distribution. [...] This is one of those books that goes into complete detail about every aspect of the Debian project. A very well written book with examples and lots of information for any user that wants to learn more about the Debian project or use it as a resource alongside a standard Linux reference book to bootstrap your Linux experience with Debian. I give The Debian System - Concepts and Techniques a big two thumbs up and two toes up!!
