It's a shame I can't edit comments on Launchpad: Please disregard my previous comment, I seem to have misread the issue, sorry for the noise.
The error message noted in the title of this issue exactly matches the problem that I ran into last weekend, which explains how this issue popped up rather prominently in the search results I got when I searched for the error message. The cause is different though. Hopefully my pointer to the ubuntu-keyring issue will help some folks arriving here via Google :-). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/599394 Title: Release signed by unknown key (key id 40976EAF437D05B5) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pbuilder/+bug/599394/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
