GPG security error w/Lenny:

Error Message:
The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY <unique code>
There is no public key available for the following key IDs:
<unique code here>
You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems.

Solution for us:
If apt-get update doesn't fix it, do:
1. do su to have root access, or prefix sudo in-front of this.
2. type:
apt-get install debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring
3. now update your system:
apt-get update
and
apt-get upgrade
