'apt-get update' error

[Chris Green]

A friend is trying to 'apt-get update' his BBB running wheezy:-

root@beaglebone:~# apt-get update
Get:1 http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates Release.gpg [1554 B]
Get:2 http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates Release [39.0 kB]
Get:3 http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy Release.gpg [2373 B]
Get:4 http://debian.beagleboard.org wheezy-bbb Release.gpg [490 B]
Get:5 http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy-updates Release.gpg [1554 B]
Get:6 http://debian.beagleboard.org wheezy-bbb Release [3403 B]
W: There is no public key available for the following key IDs:
9D6D8F6BC857C906
E: Release file for
http://security.debian.org/dists/wheezy/updates/Release is expired
(invalid since 1086d 21h 50min 48s). Updates for this repository will
not be applied.
root@beaglebone:~#

So, what should he do?

You did not say which version of wheezy (Debian 7) he is running. 

The last stable release of Debian 7 was 2015.

Maybe he should consider upgrading to Debian 8. (jessie)

Debian 8.7 is the most recent stable release.

The 9D6D8F6BC857C906 key expired a few years back, we've since moved
to a repo that has a key with no expiration:

It's a 2 step process to fix and update it:

How much longer with Wheezy support I wonder. My x86 support system for my beaglebones here has already stopped upgrading. Not a single security update either.

 Which when security updates stop happening thats really what queue's me to move on . . .

The Debian LTS team is taking care of it now:

to 31st May 2018

Actually for x86 Stretch RCx isn't looking too bad. I mean I happened across a few videos on youtube showing off the new XFCE desktop, and it looks pretty good. But thats looks. People are saying it's pretty stable for a testing branch though.
