Thanks to James Eaton for reporting the problem.

Problem Affects...
==================
A problem currently exists for anyone who installed the get_iplayer
package from the openSUSE Build Service. This service currently
supports Debian and Raspbian, buster and stretch.

Problem Cause and Impact
========================
The problem is that the repository key downloaded at the time of
installation had an expiry date which has just passed. This causes APT
errors when updating a system (apt-get update etc.). This only affects
that opensuse.org repository, all your other system repositories
continue to function as usual.

Quick Fix
=========
The key on the remote repository has been updated and now has an expiry
date in mid 2023. So the immediate solution is to re-install the key
just as you did when you first installed the package.

So go to the download site:-

https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Am-grant-prg&package=get-iplayer

Find your relevant section Debian or Raspbian buster or stretch and run
the curl command in a terminal. After this system updates should work
with no errors shown against opensuse.org.

Long Term Fix
=============
A transparent fix is required. I shall contact the openSUSE Build
Service people and find a solution with them.

Apologies for the inconvenience, this is a surprising problem for a
public repository.

Regards
Mark
