Problem with update manager......

Got the following error message after an update. using Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal -

W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://deb.opera.com stable Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY AAFF4A5B336064B5

The answer to your problem can be found in the error message itself:

".....The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY AAFF4A5B336064 B5....."

The solution is to add the missing authentication key, or public key, to your Software sources. This can be done by doing the following:

Adding authentication key:

wget -O - http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -

Adding repository:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera.list' 

Installing Opera:

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install opera

You can copy/paste these commands in a terminal.

But why not downloading directly from the website itself www.opera.com ? Then you don’t have these kind of issues.

The warning icon has vanished so maybe it was just a download issue. I do not use opera so not so much of an issue.

Thanks for the advice will keep it in mind if problem comes back.
