   Thx a lot!

   For me, the following worked (adopted from Tomasz above, with 2 sudo less):
   
sudo apt-get update 2> /tmp/keymissing 1> /dev/null; for key in $(grep "NO_PUBKEY" /tmp/keymissing |sed "s/.*NO_PUBKEY //"); do echo -e "nProcessing key: $key"; gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv $key && gpg --export --armor $key | sudo apt-key add -; done; rm /tmp/keymissing


   Other keyservers to try, if keyserver.ubuntu.com or subkeys.pgp.net are offline:

   keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net
   keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu
   keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net (random server)
   keyserver hkp://keys.nayr.net
   keyserver http://keys.gnupg.net
   keyserver http://wwwkeys.xx.pgp.net where xx is a two-letter country code.

   (from Launchpad )

   Yes, thanks!!

   Although it was anti-climactic to finally fix this annoyance, and after typing the last command all it says is “OK”. 🙂

    Didn’t work for me.
    Regarding to https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+question/66164
    I had to use this in terminal window:

    # gpg –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv 60D11217247D1CFF
    # gpg –export –armor 60D11217247D1CFF | sudo apt-key add –

    Then press reload button in the Synaptic Package Manager. –> Success !!!!

    Thank you.

    You might also try the following code (as published at forum.ubuntu.pl):
    
sudo apt-get update 2> /tmp/keymissing; for key in $(grep "NO_PUBKEY" /tmp/keymissing |sed "s/.*NO_PUBKEY //"); do echo -e "nProcessing key: $key"; sudo gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv $key && sudo gpg --export --armor $key | sudo apt-key add -; done

    Bei mir war es der Key:

    W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: Die folgenden Signaturen konnten nicht überprüft werden, weil ihr öffentlicher Schlüssel nicht verfügbar ist: NO_PUBKEY 60D11217247D1CFF

    Wie oben beschrieben vorgrangen:

    gpg –keyserver subkeys.pgp.net –recv 60D11217247D1CFF

    gpg –export –armor 60D11217247D1CFF | sudo apt-key add –

    Nun klappt es wieder.
    Danke für die Anleitung.

    For my system, it was necessary to use sudo. Otherwise the gpg commands worked as written.
