Recently there was a problem with the signatures for amd64:


# apt-get update
:
:
Get:4 http://amd64.debian.net unstable Release.gpg [189B]
:
:
Fetched 3683kB in 31s (118kB/s)
Reading package lists... Done
W: GPG error: http://amd64.debian.net unstable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY E415B2B4B5F5BBED
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
#


Running yet another update doesn't help at all. AFAIK the
real solution is to grab a new key somewhere and install it
using apt-key.

thanks

Yep.  As the code says...

   /* This sux, remove it someday */
   if (_error->empty() == false)
      _error->Warning(_("You may want to run apt-get update to correct these
problems"));
