Just FYI, what you ended up doing is the standard procedure for adding repositories/PPAs. You must manually add the keys for those sources, either as you did or by installing a keyring package for the source (if it exists). This is a security feature. ('sudo apt-key update' only updates the existing local keyring with the keyring from the corresponding distribution archive.)

'sudo apt-get update' does not install anything. Did you mean 'sudo apt-get upgrade'? If so, if you don't tell apt that it can install from untrusted sources, it won't do so; that's probably why it didn't already install those packages.
