Maveric - NO_PUBKEY on "extras" repository

[_0R10N]

I want to share with you the solution I found for a problem I had for some days, when trying to update my repositories.

Error message:

W: GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com maverick Release: The following  signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available:  NO_PUBKEY XXXXXXXXXXXX

Solution:

Run the following command

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 3E5C1192

That will solve the issue and then you will be able to update your repositories successfully.

Hope this help!

Kind regards!

Actually that works on all pubkey not just Maverick. I keep a copy of that solution in my Documents and just add the numbers to run it in Terminal. Worked for many different distros for over a year and a half now.
