GPG key for Ubuntu packages
Hi, I updated the README in the bin/linux/debian directory with some words about how to circumvent firewalls if they don't let gpg fetch keys. Comments or improvements are welcome. On another note, I reformatted the README file, so if I now run txt2html README > README.html I get an HTML version, which is shown together with the directory listing on CRAN. Greetings to all, Johannes * Gregor Gorjanc <gregor.gorjanc at bfro.uni-lj.si> [070521 11:50]:

Is anyone experiencing the following: $ gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key E2A11821 gpg: requesting key E2A11821 from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net gpg: keyserver timed out gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error
alternatively, you may get the key from http://keyserver.noreply.org by searching for its ID (0xE2A11821) and copy/paste it into a plain text file. Afterwards point to this file from within synaptic[1]: Settings -> Repositories -> Authentication [Tab] -- Import Key File. And everything should be set;)
Thank you all! Seems that I have a problem with a firewall. Solution by Ivalio was the missing piece I needed. I suggest that his note is added to http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/README Regards, Gregor
