Missing missing repository GPG keys

[Jon Ramvi]

Repositories are missing GPG keys which returns warnings to the user

"i got this error after adding the repo's:

W: GPG-fout: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: De volgende ondertekeningen konden niet geverifieerd worden omdat de publieke sleutel niet beschikbaar is: NO_PUBKEY 60D11217247D1CFF
W: GPG-fout: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: De volgende ondertekeningen konden niet geverifieerd worden omdat de publieke sleutel niet beschikbaar is: NO_PUBKEY 3F2A5EE4B796B6FE
W: GPG-fout: http://www.array.org intrepid Release: De volgende ondertekeningen konden niet geverifieerd worden omdat de publieke sleutel niet beschikbaar is: NO_PUBKEY 9B25830FFD0C2C24

its in dutch, but,

i googled around and found this gentoo weblog and (probably) found an answer,

if you come across this error after running aptitude update

W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available:
NO_PUBKEY 7D2C7A23BF810CD5
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

due to a missing GPG key do the following to correct the problem

gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv 7D2C7A23BF810CD5

Replace the key number “7D2C7A23BF810CD5″ with the one included in your error message

gpg --export --armor 7D2C7A23BF810CD5 | sudo apt-key add -

After that, the key will be added to a list and the error will not reappear.

apt-get update

I have the same problem on the Acer Aspire One EP1.5 but after trying your solution I end up with the following error.

Found this
http://en.newinstance.it/2009/06/22/the-following-signatures-were-invalid-badsig-40976eaf437d05b5-ubuntu-archive-automatic-signing-key/
Which suggest you do this:
#apt-get clean
#cd /var/lib/apt
#mv lists lists.old
#mkdir -p lists/partial
#apt-get clean
#apt-get update
This sorted it for me.

Yes

the instructions by christianedward solved the problem on my eee 900 easypeasy 1.5

Thank you! :)

[Ptericles (spamn8me-registration)]

This worked for me too! Thanks so much. (I just installed easy peasy 1.5)
I copied this soln to the easypeasy forum post on this topic.

[jeepGuy (tom-bearpaws)]

Me too - thanks!

I'm not sure how this is related to the Firefox 3.0/3.5 mplayer plugin bug I reported? I don't get any warnings about missing repository gpg keys. The problem I have is that when I try to install the mplayer plugin via Synaptic, it wants to install Firefox 3.0 and branding. Maybe the mplayer plugin is not updated to work with 3.5 yet? Or maybe it's a different issue? I don't know.

[Jon Ramvi (ramvi)]

Oh, I understand now. I'll change it back
