NO_PUBKEY | August 8th, 2006
Every now and then I end up adding in a repository for an apt and I get the error
W: GPG error: http://kubuntu.org dapper Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A506E6D4DD4D5088
Basically it means that you don’t have the gpg signing setup for this source.
Don’t worry it’s easy to fix.
Basically you take the last 8 digits of the code provided - so for this error the key is - DD4D5088
Now you just run the following command
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys DD4D5088| gpg --export DD4D5088 | apt-key add -
Once you do that the signing relationship is setup and the error should go away.
