Technically speaking that's not an error but an warning message ;)

Starting with 0.6 apt-get has a new security mechanism.  Release files
are digitaly signed and you need to tell apt which keys it should trust.

Please read "man apt-key" and "man apt-secure" and after you understood
what it does, run:

gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key EA8E8B2116BA136C ; gpg --armor 
--export EA8E8B2116BA136C | apt-key add -


Yours sincerely,
  Alexander
