When I run sudo apt-get update I have the following output:

W: GPG error: http://www.debian-multimedia.org squeeze Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 07DC563D1F41B907

I've scoured the web but can only find esoteric solutions I cannot understand.

Is there a way to bypass the security feature blocking it without engaging in esoteric commandline?

As you can find on the Debian Multimedia home page

The first package to install is debian-multimedia-keyring.

Since Squeeze you can install this package with apt-get but you need to press Y when the package ask what to do and do not press return.

So, summing up, don't care about apt-get update warning, install the named package and answer Y when asked.

  • I installed debian-multimedia-keyring. I don't know if this was expected but apt-get update succeeded after I did this. Problem is when I try to install acroread in Synaptic, dozens of dependencies are not automatically resolved and it refuses to proceed: `acroread: Depends: acroread-l10n-en but it is not going to be installed or acroread-l10n Depends: acroread-debian-files but it is not going to be installed Depends: acroread-data but it is not going to be installed Depends: ia32-libs-xulrunner but it is not going to be installed` – ptrcao Sep 02 '11 at 17:29
  • That `apt-get` succeed is expected. For `acroread` post another question, with all relevant details. – enzotib Sep 02 '11 at 17:33
