@w5mgm - When was the last time you ran an apt update && apt upgrade? That usually means you have an obsolete Debian signers keyfile. It’s also important to know that Buster is no longer maintained by the Debian project so you may have issues that have to be worked around.

@w5mgm Returning to this… you should be able to fix your key situation. Run this as root:

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 0E98404D386FA1D9
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6ED0E7B82643E131
gpg --export --armor 0E98404D386FA1D9 | apt-key add -
gpg --export --armor 6ED0E7B82643E131 | apt-key add -

That should import the keys you need.
