I saw the following while attempting to work around this issue:
1.
In addition to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg, each *.gpg file in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
is a separate keyring, often containing a single key for the corresponding
repository. This could effectively limit the number of repos/packages one can
have, if the total number of keyrings exceeds GnuPG's limit.
2.
Deleting a key ('apt-key del <keyID>'), or removing a repository (e.g., using
Synaptic), removes the key from its keyring in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ but
leaves the empty keyring in the location. After I removed the empty keyring
files, the "resource limit" message did not appear and 'apt-get update' did not
complain about "NO_PUBKEY." So, once GnuPG's maximum number of keyrings is
reached, one has to manually remove the empty keyring files, in addition to
removing package repositories, in order to avoid the "NO_PUBKEY" scenario.
