Any idea what this means or why I’m getting it when I run apt-get update or restart the server? Fresh debian 4 and virtualmin pro:

W: GPG error: [http://software.virtualmin.com](http://software.virtualmin.com) virtualmin-etch Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO\_PUBKEY E8DD3FA0A0BDBCF9  
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

Thanks.

I see my sources.list has this in it. I changed the serial numbers and license keys, just in case they should be private 🙂 Is it correct?

deb [http://1111111:XXXXXXXXXXX@software.virtualmin.com/debian/](http://1111111:XXXXXXXXXXX@software.virtualmin.com/debian/) virtualmin-etch main

Yes. The problem is that I apparently still don’t have key importing for Debian working right.

Run the following:

[code:1]

# wget --quiet [http://software.virtualmin.com/lib/RPM-GPG-KEY-virtualmin](http://software.virtualmin.com/lib/RPM-GPG-KEY-virtualmin) -O - | apt-key add -

# wget --quiet [http://software.virtualmin.com/lib/RPM-GPG-KEY-webmin](http://software.virtualmin.com/lib/RPM-GPG-KEY-webmin) -O - | apt-key add -

[/code:1]

Seems to have worked. The message didn’t show up after apt-get update.

Thanks
