Public key error when adding extra repositories

Asked by dural78

When I try to add extra repositories, as per this page:
https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/add-applications/C/extra-repositories-adding.html

I get an error message as follow:
W: GPG error: http://ftp.debian.org sarge Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A70DAF536070D3A1 NO_PUBKEY B5D0C804ADB11277

Any ideas on how it can be fixed?

Hmm, when I type this in terminal, I get the following:

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

Is this where I should be?

Yes, but installing packages needs to be done as the "root" user. Preprend
the command I gave you with "sudo" to be prompted for your password and
execute the command as "root" like:

sudo apt-get install debian-keyring
