andymatuschak/Sparkle — Issue #119: Insecure update error!

I'm going batty trying to get a properly signed update working. I tried with the 1.5b6 distribution, and ran into the "improperly signed" issues people have reported. I downloaded the new ruby scripts from HEAD, re-created my public & private keys. I tested the signature using steps in a launchpad thread. I checked my version of OpenSSL (0.9.8r). And nothing I could do would get my app to accept a signed update.

I checked out HEAD and built it, and loaded up the framework from there. Now I get a dialog every time I run my app, telling me I need to sign my updates.
> For security reasons, you need to distribute your appcast over SSL or sign your updates. See Sparkle's documentation for more information.
I'm stumped. None of the suggested solutions I've found on the Internet (including issue #114 here) seemed to help me get a working appcast. Any other ideas?
