Unable to install new packages using apt-get on Ubuntu 12.04

Hello All,

Unable to install new packages on Ubuntu 12.04, there is an error related to 'gpg'. Executed 'Update Manager' (installed all updates) but still the problem persists, following is the error when I tried to install Oracl JDK 7

Please help me out, thanks in advance.

Code:

coder@ubuntu:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:flexiondotorg/java

[sudo] password for vikram: 

You are about to add the following PPA to your system:

 tag:launchpad.net:2008:redacted

 More info: https://launchpad.net/~flexiondotorg/+archive/java

Press [ENTER] to continue or ctrl-c to cancel adding it



Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /tmp/tmp.jE42eWWvmU --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80/ --recv tag:launchpad.net:2008:redacted

gpg: "tag:launchpad.net:2008:redacted" not a key ID: skipping

Thats not 'unable to install new packages on 12.04', its just one PPA that is broken.

My Java PPA has been disabled by Canonical, possibly because they violate the Ubuntu CoC and PPA terms of use, as Jef Spaleta noted in the comments below, although I’ve had no communication from Canonical at this time. I’m preparing an alternative solution, for those of you who need Sun Java 6, that doesn’t violate and copyrights, CoCs or terms of use. A new blog post will be made when that alternate solution is available.
