Thank you Alex-- I ended up using:

code
```gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key E298A3A825C0D65DFD57CBB651716619E084DAB9

Hello,

The temporary fix to pass this problems is using apt-key add instead adv options through wget or curl ::

curl -sL "http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA6A19B38D3D831EF" | sudo apt-key add

Let me know how it goes.

Alex
