That command is just trying to add the keyring for medibuntu. Did you add the repository to your sources list first?

I always use the command that's listed first under adding the repositories on the medibuntu site. It adds the repository to sources, installs the keyring and updates, all in one command.

For 9.04, this may help-


sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/jaunty.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

Click on Applications, then Accessories and choose terminal. You can copy and paste the commands into terminal, one command at a time.
