Google Chrome: no pubkey error - NO_PUBKEY 6494C6D6997C215E

[magicchance]

Was just now trying to run apt update and got this error warning:

W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available:
NO_PUBKEY 6494C6D6997C215E W: Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/d ... elease.gpg The following signatures
couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6494C6D6997C215E W: Some index files failed to download. They have
been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Is there anything I should be doing now, or should I just leave it alone?

Just fix it.

wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get update

I'm using Chomium and this DID NOT solve my problem with Yahoo Mail that I still cannot access.

You will want to start your own posting for that. Chrome and Chromium are two separate applications.

Try this - it worked for me for a key that was out of date.

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com `sudo apt update 2>&1 | grep -o '[0-9A-Z]\{16\}$' | xargs`
