Danke schön!

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

thank you, i was experiencing the same problem recently

Worked well on Ubuntu (Kubuntu) as well. Thanks a lot!

Thank you!

It works!

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.

Gracias Amigo.

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


Cheers for this, I knew someone would’ve blogged a fix for it

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 !!!!

Yes, thanks!!

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

Thanks a lot, mate! Awesome

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
