apt-get update: "NO_PUBKEY 8B48AD6246925553"

[PROBLEM]
I had a Debian Squeeze, running happily without any changes. One day I did a "apt-get update" and got a "NO_PUBKEY" error.
:(

[SOLUTION]
Before taking your whole apt.sources lists apart, try the following first:

Code: Select all

$ apt-get install debian-archive-keyring
Then try the "apt-get update" again.
Should work!

Thanks to a thread on "crunchbang.org".
