Synopsis

Description

debsigs is used to manipulate the cryptographic signatures stored inside a .deb file. It is not used to verify those signatures; for that purpose, see debsig-verify(1) .

Options

--list or -l or -t
Lists the signatures found in the specified file.

--sign=type: Creates a new signature of the type specified in the given file. The signature will be created using the default key for your GPG keyring.
--default-key=keyID: Uses a key other than the default for signing the package.
--secret-keyring=file or -K file: Uses a keyring other than the default for signing the package. This option is passed along to GPG verbatim; see the discussion in the gpg(1) manpage for information on how to specify the keyring file.
-v: Displays verbose output.
--verify or --check or -c: Invokes debsig-verify to check the validity of the signature on this package.
--delete=type: Deletes the signature of the specified type from the package.
