I am having difficulty installing Frozen Bubble 2.1 on Edgy Eft 6.10

I followed the directions on http://www.frozen-bubble.org/downloads/ which state:
Ubuntu: users of edgy can add deb http://mirror.randumb.org/darkmagez/repo edgy-darkmagez games to their /etc/apt/sources.list ... then type apt-get update && apt-get install frozen-bubble to install 2.1.0

I got this error:

W: GPG error: http://mirror.randumb.org edgy-darkmagez Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY DB5D6B0AA3012FB3
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Then I tried wget http://mirror.randumb.org/darkmagez/repo/DB5D6B0AA3012FB3.gpg - O | sudo apt-key add - and got this error:

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Is there a better way to install frozen bubble 2.1?](*,)

There's a howto compiling Frozen Bubble 2 on the howto section of Ubuntu Gamers Arena.

The bad news is the servers (which KB hosted) ran into a storm weather which took them out, so you might wait a bit yet.

I was able to find the directions using google's chache of the page here: http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:FdVlQEwq9_gJ:gaming.gwos.org/index.php%3Foption%3Dcom_content%26task%3Dview%26i d%3D187%26Itemid%3D63+site:gwos.org+frozen+bubble&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=2&client=firefox-a

Basic rehash:
1) Make sure you have 3D drivers installed and enabled.
2) sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade
3) sudo aptitude install build-essential checkinstall
4) sudo aptitude install libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-perl libpango1.0-dev
5) Download SDL_Pango-0.1.2.tar.gz (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=110621) and SDL_Pango-0.1.2-API-adds.patch (http://zarb.org/%7Egc/t/SDL_Pango-0.1.2-API-adds.patch) to your Desktop.
6) cd && cd Desktop
7) tar zxfv SDL_Pango-0.1.2.tar.gz
8 ) cd SDL_Pango-0.1.2
9) patch -p0 <../SDL_Pango-0.1.2-API-adds.patch
10) ./configure --prefix=/usr
11) make
12) sudo checkinstall
13) Download Frozen Bubble source code (http://www.frozen-bubble.org/data/frozen-bubble-2.1.0.tar.bz2) to your Desktop.
14) cd && cd Desktop
15) tar jxfv frozen-bubble-2.1.0.tar.bz2
16) cd frozen-bubble-2.1.0
17) make
18 ) sudo make install
19) sudo checkinstall
20) sudo nano /usr/share/applications/FrozenBubble2.desktop
21) Add the following to the file:
Add the following;

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Frozen Bubble 2
Comment=GPL Arcade Game
Exec=frozen-bubble
Icon=/usr/local/share/frozen-bubble/gfx/menu/small_ping.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Game;
22) Save (ctrl) + (o) and exit (ctrl) + (x)
23) Frozen Bubble 2 should now be usable using the Applications tab ---> Games ---> Frozen Bubble 2 or by typing frozen-bubble in the terminal. :D
24) You can uninstall the game by using synaptic or your apt program of choice, if you so choose.
