Solution

  • I am got the same issue while running the below command

    $ sudo apt update

    In your case, you can follow below option to resolved these issue.

    1. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 78BD65473CB3BD13

      Or

    2. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 78BD65473CB3BD13

    In first option, we don't have to decide which port should be or you can go with second option. Either way, both will work.
