Update the local keyring with the archive keyring and remove from
the local keyring the archive keys which are no longer valid.
The archive keyring is shipped in the <literal>archive-keyring</literal> package of your
distribution, e.g. the &keyring-package; package in &keyring-distro;.

+ Note that a distribution does not need to and in fact should not use
+ this command any longer and instead ship keyring files in the
+ <filename>/etc/apt/trusted.gpg</filename> directory directly as this
+ avoids a dependency on <package>gnupg</package> and it is easier to manage
+ keys by simply adding and removing files for maintainers and users alike.
