    Installing a program from a mirror

    Hi,

    I am trying to install a program (R for statistical computing). I have added this line:

    deb http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu intrepid/

    in my /etc/apt/sources.list file. However when I "Reload", I get the following Error message:
    W: GPG error: http://cran.at.r-project.org intrepid/ Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY D67FC6EAE2A11821

    I have tried different mirror sites, but the result is the same. There is nothing written about public keys on the download of the program:
    http://cran.at.r-project.org/

    Then, I have tried after I added the line to the /etc/apt/sources/list file not pressing "Reload", but "Close", and I have written in the console:
    sudo apt-get update
    but I received similar message again:

    ....
    Reading package lists... Done
    W: GPG error: http://cran.rakanu.com intrepid/ Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY D67FC6EAE2A11821
    W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

    Do you know what the problem is, and what should I do? Thanks in advance.

    Code:
    gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv D67FC6EAE2A11821
    gpg --export --armor D67FC6EAE2A11821 | sudo apt-key add -

    Yes, I have done this exactly like that, when it didn't happen with the first try .
