Alright, so I'm trying to upgrade (if you could call it so) to lenny-backports as seen here, but I ran into this error when running apt-get update:

W: GPG error: http://backports.debian.org lenny-backports Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A*numbers and letters*A
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

The line I added to sources.list is as follows:

deb      http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports lenny-backports main

And as Womble asked in previous question here is the version of debian-archive-keyring no matter what is that..

dpkg -l debian-archive-keyring

Your version of the debian-archive-keyring package is out of date. You need to upgrade it to the latest version available in lenny -- an apt-get install debian-archive-keyring should do the trick.
