GPG error with ‘apt-get update’

This post is only a technical reminder for me. You can disregard.

This is a very frequent message when updating a APT based distro;

W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 60D11217247D1CFF
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

I always forget the GPG retrieve command (must be on one line):

#gpg –keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net –recv-keys 60D11217247D1CFF

and the apt-key import command:

#gpg –export –armor 60D11217247D1CFF | sudo apt-key add -

There you go, no more problems.
