[solved] unable to update because of GPG issue

Hello,
I use MX-16.1 (with kernel 4.7.0-0.bpo.1-amd64) and got a pop-up message telling that I had 84 updates available.
Therefore I ran this command from a terminal :
The process started up as expected but at the 36th step, I got this error message :
"W: GPG Error : /
http://download.opensuse.org Release : The following signatures could not be checked out because the public key is not available : NO_PUBKEY 8873EE7BF70F1BBEA".
How could I resolve this issue, provided that I don'i want to re-install MX-16 from scratch ?

You have added a third-party repository (the one at
http://download.opensuse.org) that you need to install the key for.
It's possible that
Check Apt Gpg in MX-Tools can find it. If it cannot, you can always disable that repository for now and update everything else.
If you run
in a terminal and paste the results here, we can probably track down where to get the key

I haven't seen any of the keys for my OBS repos end up in public keyservers. You have to download the Release.key file from that OBS repo and use apt-key to install it. The instructions to add the key should have been where you saw the instructions to add the repo, but they are
Code: Select all
wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/osmc/Debian_8.0/Release.key && sudo apt-key add - < Release.key
