I have downloaded and partially installed the SM 2.49.4 64 bit Linux version, yet have always enjoyed having the Unbuntuzilla PPA installed to provide me with any eventual updates. For quite some time now, typing: sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com C1289A29 into my terminal only returns an error.

The error message might provide some clue as to what the problem is.

The installation instructions at <https://sourceforge.net/p/ubuntuzilla/wiki/Main_Page/> give the command as:
 > sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 2667CA5C

The key ID is 2667CA5C not C1289A29, so perhaps that's your problem.



I have used the previous seamonkey for ubuntuzilla install process for nearly a decade so the key was/used to be correct. Now attempting with the new key ID returns the same error:

~ $ sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 2667CA5C
Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.n0lTDNWAAv/gpg.1.sh --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 2667CA5C
gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure

Not sure why that's failing for you. It worked for me when I tried just now on Linux Mint:

$ sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 2667CA5C
Executing: /tmp/tmp.1wi6DlOsQM/gpg.1.sh --recv-keys
--keyserver
keyserver.ubuntu.com
2667CA5C
gpg: requesting key 2667CA5C from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: key 2667CA5C: public key "Daniel Folkinshteyn (Ubuntuzilla signing key) <...>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)

Adding "-vv --keyserver-options verbose,verbose,verbose" (without the quotes) between "adv" and "--recv-keys" might provide more details about what the problem is: $ sudo apt-key adv -vv --keyserver-options verbose,verbose,verbose --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 2667CA5C

As for partially installed, I mean that I haven't yet properly placed Seamonkey into the Peppermint OS menu, I merely open it from within the folder it was extracted to @WaltS

That sounds like you've downloaded and unpacked the .tar.bz2 package from seamonkey-project.org? You may already be aware, but that won't get updated from Ubuntuzilla anyway - you need to install the package from Ubuntuzilla. Before doing that, remove any other version installed via apt or from deb packages.

Once the Ubuntuzilla repository is set up you'll need to run `sudo apt-get update` and `sudo apt-get install seamonkey-mozilla-build` to actually install SeaMonkey. If you've installed from Ubuntuzilla before, it may be worth trying that anyway (skipping the `apt-key` step) since you might already have the repository and keys set up. It probably won't work, since it sounds like you wouldn't have the new key, but worth a try anyway.
