You get a message like this: "W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net hardy Release...." In a terminal do the following do command lines while changing to the actual key from the message: gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv FCA4A9D8F45955CE
gpg --export --armor FCA4A9D8F45955CE | sudo apt-key add -
The action would look something like this: carl@cjfh3:~$ gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv FCA4A9D8F45955CE
gpg: requesting key F45955CE from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net
gpg: key F45955CE: public key "Launchpad PPA for bortis" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1)
carl@cjfh3:~$ gpg --export --armor FCA4A9D8F45955CE | sudo apt-key add -
OK
carl@cjfh3:~$
After that you should be okay.
