Anyway too late to fix this.

I've just downloaded grep-2.5.4.tar.bz2 and its accompanying
.sig file.

gpg --verify *.sig produced...

gpg: Signature made Tue 10 Feb 2009 04:42:18 GMT using DSA key ID 9F759EEC
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found

My "fetch" script (running from the MIT server) said the
key wasn't found.

Searching on the web for 9F759EEC produced a link to
https://savannah.gnu.org/project/memberlist-gpgkeys.php?group=grep
which no longer has a trace of this key Moreover, it helpfully
tells me that I can import the keyring into gpg after
downloading it, but not where I can find it in the first place.

Clearly, this is a key which used to exist but has now been
withdrawn... but still, what is going on?
