Call me supersticious, especially in respect to system administration.) Not regarding for now the many gpg options used by apt-key, i'd say that "keyserver timed out" is an indication for network problems. Before studying man gpg i try a vanilla key download: $ gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 473041FA gpg: requesting key 473041FA from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com gpg: key 473041FA: public key "Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (6.0/squeeze) <ftpmas...@debian.org>" imported gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1) So the server looks reachable from here and delivers some Debian related key. What do you get from this simple gpg run ? ---------- I guess there are other ways to download the keys from Debian directly, and to let apt-key take them.

The key is read from the filename given with the parameter filename or if the filename is - from standard input. update Update the local keyring with the archive keyring and remove from the local keyring the archive keys which are no longer valid. The archive keyring is shipped in the archive-keyring package of your distribution, e.g. the debian-archive-keyring package in Debian. (I get to the impression that those here who better understand apt-* don't want to be accessory to the crime of running Debian 7. So only ruthless amateurs like me consider to look for solutions. But let me add for consideration that qualified help could shorten the public pain caused by watching this endeavor.)
