This might suggest two things:

1. Make sure you have gpg installed and you have a gpg key uploaded to launchpad

More help on gpg here:

https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/ImportingYourPGPKey

2. Make sure you have DEBEMAIL and DEBFULLNAME environment values set

Type at the end of your .bashrc

export DEBFULLNAME='Dejan Petrovic'
export DEBEMAIL='dekiseka.petrovic at gmail.com'

and source it
