adding debian PGP Keys

[Nigel Ridley]

I am trying to install scribus from the debian archives (there is a bug in the 
*ubuntu version) per:
http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Getting_Scribus_on_Ubuntu/Kubuntu_up_and_running

<quote>
  Using cryptographic repository signatures

Our repositories are cryptographically signed for added security. Add the gpg-keys 
for our repositories to avoid having to confirm your installation choice to the 
package manager each time you update a scribus or scribus-ng package.

New keys
"If you are using our upstream repositories of Debian/Ubuntu Scribus packages you 
will notice during your next package upgrade that apt/aptitude complains about not 
having the right key. The reason for it is that as of today the key used for 
signing our repositories has been changed." by Alex (Malex).

root$ gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys EEF818CF
root$ gpg --armor --export EEF818CF | apt-key add -

or as a normal user (with an appropriate entry for apt-key in the sudoers file):

user$ (sudo) gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys EEF818CF
user$ (sudo) gpg --armor --export EEF818CF | sudo apt-key add -
<end quote>

But I get an error:

nigel at nigels:~$ sudo gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys EEF818CF
Password:
gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file `/home/nigel/.gnupg/gpg.conf'
gpg: external program calls are disabled due to unsafe options file permissions
gpg: keyserver communications error: general error
gpg: keyserver receive failed: general error
nigel at nigels:~$ sudo gpg --armor --export EEF818CF | apt-key add -
gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file `/home/nigel/.gnupg/gpg.conf'
gpg: WARNING: nothing exported
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

I did try changing the permissions to 'Owner: root Group: root' but ended up with 
a different error:

nigel at nigels:~$ sudo gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys EEF818CF; gpg 
--armor --export EEF818CF | sudo apt-key add -
Password:

nigel at nigels:~$

So how do I add the keys?

Blessings,

Nigel
