Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the explanation. Perhaps the instructions could be clearer.
I clicked on the "read about installing" link to open the box and found
"*Step 1:* On the PPA's overview page you'll see the PPA's OpenPGP key
id. It'll look something like this: /1024/12345678/. Copy it, or make a
note of, the portion after the slash, e.g: /12345678/."
so I clicked the "overview" link in that page, and used the key I found
there.
I suspect I should have used the "Build dependencies signing key" on the
original page.
Regards
Ian
