Miscellaneous issues with apt-get

No public key

  • open terminal
  • su
  • password 
gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys <key> 
gpg --armor --export <key> | sudo apt-key add - 
apt-get update

NOTE: while the may fix the issue, it is a big security risk. you need to verify somehow that the key is actually from an organization you trust. without that, it defeats the whole purpose of gpg-signed archives.
