| Just to chime in... I've seen this problem two/three times over the
| past two weeks on amd64 Debian/sid. The solution was to (sudo/su)
| 
| $ apt-key list
| $ apt-key del BFAEA5C2 # the relevant key from the above list
| $ apt-get update
| $ wget http://debian.cran.r-project.org/key.asc -O- | apt-key add -
| $ apt-get update

Correct answer to the question 'how do I get the archive key into my
keyring', but the question asked was 'how come the archive is not signed'
which we will hopefully rectify again at our end at some point.
