【Ubuntu升级报错】“the following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available”

报错界面

在ubuntu中运行apt-get update时，有时会出现如下报错

ubuntu@ubuntu-virtual-machine:~$ sudo apt update
[sudo] password for ubuntu:

如果不去解决，无法继续进行后续的升级操作

ubuntu@ubuntu-virtual-machine:~$ sudo apt upgrade
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?

这是由apt包系统的安全机制引起的问题，有时系统无法包含所有的key。此处有快速修复的办法，即将缺少的key加进去即可。
观察里面的报错，其实是4EB27DB2A3B88B8B（请注意，每个人的KEY会不一样，所以需要从自己的报错信息中找出对应的值，替换到下面的指令，如果是多个key，相应的发送多条指令即可），这个key缺失，因此只要将其加入即可，可使用如下指令：

ubuntu@ubuntu-virtual-machine:~$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4EB27DB2A3B88B8B

后续即可正常进行升级操作
