You probably know that to use a Launchpad PPA repository, you must also import the GPG key. Lately, keyserver.ubuntu.com which we need to import the GPG key goes down quite often, so how can we solve this?

You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
That’s simple. keyserver.ubuntu.com syncs up with all the other gpg/pgp servers. Just use subkeys.pgp.net and be happy. The keys returned from this server work just as well as well as Ubuntu’s.
gpg –keyserver subkeys.pgp.net –recv
gpg –armor –export | sudo apt-key add -
Go about using your new PPAs without being told you have an untrusted source.
