Hi Lisi,

Have you seen this page?
http://en.kioskea.net/faq/809-debian-apt-get-no-pubkey-gpg-error

You'd have to substitute your key for the key listed there. When I ran
the first half of the recommended solution, I get the following:
gpg: key 46925553: public key "Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key
(7.0/wheezy) <ftpmaster@debian.org>" imported

I'm sorry, I've got no concrete ideas on what causes the error.

Sincerely,
Kailash
