Hi Gorjanc, It did happen to someone a few weeks back (look in the archives) and the problem originated from this person's workstation. Did you try a few times? Bye!

I had this problem for the Debian binaries. In my case, it was due to the firewall on our system. There are a couple of ways around the problem. 1. fix the fire wall by enabling port 11371 2. if you trust the source, don't use the gpg key. Use the --force-yes option in apt-get (read the man pages first, though!!!) 3. export the key to an ascii file using the following: gpg -a --export E2A11821 | apt-key add - and then run apt-get or whatever Anne On Sun, 20 May 2007, r-sig-debian-request at r-project.org wrote: > Date: Sat, 19 May 2007 20:33:35 +0200 > From: "Gorjanc Gregor" <Gregor.Gorjanc at bfro.uni-lj.si> > Subject: [R-sig-Debian] GPG key for Ubuntu packages > To: <r-sig-debian at r-project.org> > Message-ID: > <7FFEE688B57D7346BC6241C55900E730F31DA5 at pollux.bfro.uni-lj.si> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > Hi! > > Is anyone experiencing the following: > > $ gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key E2A11821 > gpg: requesting key E2A11821 from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net > gpg: keyserver timed out > gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error > > Regards, Gregor

Afterwards point to this file from within synaptic[1]: Settings -> Repositories -> Authentication [Tab] -- Import Key File. And everything should be set;) HTH, Ivailo [1] http://www.debianadmin.com/simple-package-management-with-synaptic-package-manager-in-ubuntu.html

And everything should be set;)Thank you all! Seems that I have a problem with a firewall. Solution by Ivalio was the missing piece I needed. I suggest that his note is added to http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/README Regards, Gregor
