I am running Debian 8 latest updates.
I recently upgraded to this latest Alpha version offering and am intermittently getting system error messages as follows:-
A security trust relationship is not present
W: GPG error: https://repo.skype.com stable InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 1F3045A5DF7587C3
The installation process as per Debian website at https://wiki.debian.org/skype#Installing_Skype:-

Skype worked fine after sorting out some sound issues (just finding where to configure / test sound is NOT intuitive, whereas Skype 4.3 was).
Contrary to the advice in point 6 on the Debian 'Installing_Skype' website, no repository changes were made, and even after adding:-
deb https://repo.skype.com/deb stable main
to /etc/apt/sources.list, the error persists. Commenting the above repository out in sources.list, made no difference.
I even tried the following to try to get rid of these error messages using:-
# wget -q "https://repo.skype.com/deb/stable skypeforlinux" -O - | apt-key add -
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
# wget -q "https://repo.skype.com/deb/dists/stable/Release.gpg" -O - | apt-key add -
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
# wget -q "https://repo.skype.com/deb/dists/stable/InRelease.gpg" -O - | apt-key add -
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
Questions:-
Why was there no modification of my sources.list, despite it being stated on the Debian Skype web page. Are these instructions correct, and if not please notify Debian.
Why am I intermittently getting these gpg system error messages and how can I get rid of them, permanently?
Thanking you in anticipation
Alex
P.S. Further research revealed the following:-
skype-stable.list had been added to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and was thus being read by apper, synaptic etc..
This, of course, is why sources.list had not been modified.
As a temporary WORKAROUND until this issue is fixed:-
# mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-stable.list .etc_apt_sources.list.d_skype-stable.list
Tested with synaptic -> reload
No more repository errors.
Skype 4.3 WORKED!!!
Why the change?
In the rural environment where I live, we have a very simple philosophy:-
"If it ain't broke, DON'T fix it!!!!
Particularly when offering an Alpha (testing) version of something with a far less intuitive or useful interface.
I look forward to the resolution of this 'trust relationship' issue.
