Fix Unverified Package - APT Errors

without comments

This is for those who experience the following error while installing anything from apt-get or Synaptic package manager from the official repositories even though you have the valid GPG keys installed (For Ubuntu/Debian ONLY):

WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!

(And further are required to use –fix-missing parameter to solve the error.)

To fix it, do this:

sudo apt-get install debian-archive-keyring debian-keyring

Next, run the Update by giving:

sudo apt-get update

That’s it, you shouldn’t be experiencing anymore issues with verification on the Official repositories. If its of the rest, you need to acquire a GPG key manually.
