Thanks Hauke, I'm past that particular issue now. but anther reared its head 
(down at end).

Ok, that worked for me on one of my systems..

gpg: searching for "dnssec at iana.org" from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net

the latter sounds like a question for dnssec-deployment@   :)

ok, so does the one in my keyring..

 > gpg --fingerprint dnssec at iana.org
pub   1024D/0F6C91D2 2007-12-01 [expires: 2011-03-04]
       Key fingerprint = 2FBB 91BC AAEE 0ABE 1F80  31C7 D1AF BCE0 0F6C 91D2
uid                  DNSSEC Manager <dnssec at iana.org>
sub   2048g/1975679E 2007-12-01



Now however, there's another problem with the Makefile 
<http://unbound.nlnetlabs.nl/pipermail/unbound-users/attachments/20100720/0fa5e52f/attachment-0005.txt>, 
at least for me:  (listing starts after root-anchors.* files are sucked over)..



gpg --verify root-anchors.asc root-anchors.xml || \
                 sh -c 'echo "Invalid root-anchors.xml"; rm -f root-anchors.xml 
root-anchors.asc; exit 1;'
gpg: Signature made Tue 06 Jul 2010 03:49:10 PM PDT using DSA key ID 0F6C91D2
gpg: Good signature from "DNSSEC Manager <dnssec at iana.org>"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: 2FBB 91BC AAEE 0ABE 1F80  31C7 D1AF BCE0 0F6C 91D2
OK, root-anchors.xml is correct
xsltproc -o root-anchors.txt anchors2ds.xsl root-anchors.xml
dig DNSKEY . | grep -w 257 > untrusted.key

# Verify the key
# Thanks to Kazunori Fujiwara for the idea
dnssec-dsfromkey -2  untrusted.key > untrusted.ds       <<<====!!! 

dnssec-dsfromkey: invalid keyfile name untrusted.key: algorithm is unsupported
make: *** [root-anchors.txt] Error 1 


note the "algorithm is unsupported" error msg from dnssec-dsfromkey.

the dnssec-dsfromkey version I'm using is 9.6.1-P2.

thoughts?

thanks,

=JeffH
