Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
When a new repository is added, and the GPG signing key for the repository has
not yet been imported, apt gives an GPG error telling me to do apt-get update.
However, that message is completely misleading because running apt-get update
will not solve the problem. Importing the GPG key will. The message should
instead tell the user to import the GPG key and/or give them instructions to do
this if the repository in question is a Launchpad PPA.
