Re: apt-get update error

[JC <jcrout@softhome.net>]

The original message in this thread referred to this URL:
http://ftp.debian.org. 

I'm having the same problem but the URL is security.debian.org. 


One reply suggested the following:
gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys 6070D3A1
gpg --export --armor 6070D3A1 | apt-key add -

Another reply suggested:
gpg --recv-key A70DAF536070D3A1
gpg --export A70DAF536070D3A1|apt-key add -

When I run the first line of either pair, the command times out after
2 minutes and returns the following message:

gpg: requesting key ....
gpg: keyserver timed out
gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error

Any help will be appreciated.
