Description

An apt-get problem that seems to arise from adding testing and unstable repositories to your sources.list. This is imported from my KoshLog[1]

When I originally had this problem, I ended up with a single page referring to it[2]

Error Message

W: GPG error: http://volatile.debian.net sarge/volatile Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 7EF7FFF4276981F4
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

Fix

# gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys 276981F4
# apt-key add /root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg && apt-get update

Just add a list of the "NO_PUBKEY" last 8 characters
