W: GPG error: http://secure-testing.debian.net etch/security-updates
Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public
key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 946AA6E18722E71E
                                        ^^^^^^^^                               
Take the last 8 digits-

~# gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 8722E71E
~# gpg --armor --export 8722E71E | apt-key add -
  
Be sure to open your firewall to port 11371 so gpg can talk to the
key server.
