How to apt-update when apt is not accepting the repository?

2023-05

Note: apt-key is deprecated

You could try updating the repository key. When I try to use the tor repository by adding this line to my sources.lst:

deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org squeeze main

I get the following error:

W: GPG error: http://deb.torproject.org squeeze InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 74A941BA219EC810

So, the missing key is 74A941BA219EC810. To add (or update in your case) the key run:

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keys.gnupg.net 74A941BA219EC810

You should now be able to run `apt-get update with no errors.
