[wplug] Ubuntu Update Problem

[Weber, Lawrence A]

I tried the apt-key function but it did not work.    Key not found.  So I went directly to the keyserver site with a web browser and entered the values.  It identified the values and returned the keys.  The three keys are for "Hugin" photo-editing software.  If I uninstall these products, I don't get the warnings.  I reinstalled and the warnings returned.  For now I guess I can just ignore the warnings but I would like to make it work correctly.

You need to download/update the signing keys used for these packages.  The short version:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys [id]

If the errors are from non-Ubuntu repositories, you'll probably need to look elsewhere for the keys.  More explanation at <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1221323>.
