The NO_PUBKEY error? After the NO_PUBKEY it should print the fingerprint of the 
key that it doesn't know. You can automatically fetch the key using the gpg 
tools as follows:

# gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key FINGERPRINT
# gpg -a --export FINGERPRINT | sudo apt-key add -

substitute FINGERPRINT appropriately. And run this as root/sudo.

BTW this key is published upstream by debian and has nothing to do with our 
particular mirror. For more info you can check out the debian wiki entry:
