The solution is simple.Take the first key you have problem with, for example E635A714505A2DD1, take the last 8 symbols (in this case - 505A2DD1) and run the following in the terminal:

Code:

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 505A2DD1

gpg --export --armor 505A2DD1 | sudo apt-key add -

Then repeat this step with every problematic key.

If you can't access keyserver.ubuntu.com on your computer, then get the key on another computer:

Code:

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 505A2DD1

gpg --export --armor 505A2DD1 > key.asc

Then transfer key.asc to your computer and run

Code:

cat key.asc | sudo apt-key add -

Can you offer another way to get around not being able to access the key server? If behind a firewall and the keyserver ports are not open. How can you import the key?

Thanks.

Use wget to download .asc keys if they are available. For example:

Code:

wget -O - http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc | sudo apt-key add - 

wget -O - http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
