the daemon arrived too late last night to deal with this one:

> The ltxkeys package provides facilities for creating and managing keys

i have installed the new package, and made an entry in the catalogue
repository that describes it.

> Users may view the package catalogue entry at

The catalogue entry will first appear on the web (some time) overnight
tonight.
