Debian 8 Jessie The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available

Trying the upgrade from Debian 7 to Debian 8 I got key warnings when I changed the sources.list

W: Error de GPG: http://security.debian.org jessie/updates Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 9D6D8F6BC857C906 NO_PUBKEY 8B48AD6246925553

I’ve fixed it running the following commands:

# wget -O - https://ftp-master.debian.org/keys/archive-key-8.asc | apt-key add -
# wget -O - https://ftp-master.debian.org/keys/archive-key-8-security.asc | apt-key add -

and get the public key:

apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 8B48AD6246925553

or simply run this command:

aptitude install debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring

  1. Hey I faced the same problem, and for me the command that worked was

    sudo gpg –keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 –recv-keys D68FA50FEA312927
    /*with change of the respective keynumber*/

  2. What i don’t realize is if truth be told how you are now not
    really much mode neatly-preferred than you might
    be now. You are so intelligent. You understand therefore
    considerably relating to this topic, made me personally imagine it from so many varied angles.
    Its like men and women are not interested unless
    it’s one thing to do with Lady gaga! Your personal stuffs
    great. Always handle itt up!
