[QnA] GPG error -- the solution

When the Ubuntu users update and upgrade their system, there are, sometimes, GPG error messages shown in the GUI dialog or command line terminal.

Here are a solution I've found useful and easy (only two steps):

$ gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv put_the_last_8_digits_of_the_key_here
$ gpg --export --armor put_the_last_8_digits_of_the_key_here | sudo apt-key add -
