Googling for this tells me I should somehow add the public key but solutions like
$ sudo LANG=C apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A74F73EFFE70B91C
Executing: /tmp/tmp.TzN2XR5fIq/gpg.1.sh --keyserver
keyserver.ubuntu.com
--recv-keys
A74F73EFFE70B91C
gpg: requesting key FE70B91C from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpgkeys: key A74F73EFFE70B91C not found on keyserver
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0
gpg: keyserver communications error: key not found
gpg: keyserver communications error: bad public key
gpg: keyserver receive failed: bad public key
do not work as well. Maybe elementary uses another keyserver than ubuntu? Or something else is broken?
AppCenter also aborts with an error message (same reason)
I have read this question but (as above) the solutions provided here do not work in my case
Would be very glad if someone could help, thanks a lot in advance
