Hello everybody...

I have the same problem. I found many topics on this forum about this problem and none of them really help.

After finishing a ebox installation using the CD I would like to upgrade the firewall (which is 1.0.0 and there is a 1.0.3 version available).

I hope someone knows a solution to this problem.

There is also information on obtaining keys at the Launchpad Help site. The correct fingerprint can be found in the error message.

Thanks newuser44 !!!

In fact, your help really worked !!! The only thing I did is to stop the firewall at all and now I see the the new updates (firewall, and so on) being installed.

The official repository I used successfully is:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox/ubuntu hardy main


Thanks for your help.

I had a similar problem with various repositories.

The only way I could get it to work was to setup a service with tcp destination port 11371 enabled. Then I setup to the firewall to allow my server and internal machines to access this service/port.

Then I followed this to update the key:

gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys $GPGKEY
gpg --export --armor $GPGKEY | sudo apt-key add -

You need to replace $GPGKEY with the key in the error message
