GPG Error / NO_PUBKEY Debian 6.0 Squeeze


If you encounter the following error when updating, I listed below the steps to fix it.

"W: GPG error: http://security.debian.org squeeze/updates Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY AED4B06F473041FA"

1. check all the keys installed on your server for debian repository.
$apt-key list

2. Install the debian-archive-keyring.
$apt-get install debian-archive-keyring

#You should be able to see the following:
pub 4096R/B98321F9 2010-08-07 [expires: 2017-08-05]
uid Squeeze Stable Release Key

pub 1024D/F42584E6 2008-04-06 [expires: 2012-05-15]
uid Lenny Stable Release Key

pub 4096R/55BE302B 2009-01-27 [expires: 2012-12-31]

pub 2048R/6D849617 2009-01-24 [expires: 2013-01-23]

pub 4096R/473041FA 2010-08-27 [expires: 2018-03-05]
uid Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (6.0/squeeze)

3. Update your Debian server now.
$apt-get update


Another Case:
Incase you encountered the error below.
"W: GPG error: http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 07DC563D1F41B907"

Fix:
$apt-get install debian-multimedia-keyring

3. You can now execute your update
$apt-get update

If it doesn't work try this!

rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
apt-get clean
apt-get update

    Thank you. This must have changed in a recent update because I just randomly started getting this error about the multimedia keyring a few months back. It never used to be a separate package right? Anyhow, this helped me get rid of that annoying message.

    Thanks for the info. However, for the second step: "$apt-get install debian-archive-keyring", this is not working for me anymore, and I have to change it to: "$apt-get install deb-archive-keyring" to make it work.

    Hi Leoman730, thanks for the feedback.

    Try this command below:
    apt-cache search keyring | grep keyring

    It will list the available packages that you can install with apt-get install command.
