It is not a bug


PPA: NO_PUBKEY C2518248EEA14886

I faced the following error in Ubuntu 15.04 when trying to: sudo apt-get update

GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net vivid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY C2518248EEA14886
Googling, there are several solutions for it, but none worked.
Only a old script that is in a couple of Ubuntu forums:

http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2257304.html





Script:

#!/bin/sh
# This script adds PPA keys to the primary keyring in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg
# thus getting around the GPG limit of 40 keyrings.
# WARNING: It's only intended as the last resort measure.
# Rather than using it, reduce your use of PPAs.

This script works best with package 'distro-info' installed.

Consider installing distro-info with
sudo apt-get install distro-info

Continuing execution anyway

WebLogic Server XML Parsers

Many times there are question in WebLogic Server about parser factories:

java.lang.AbstractMethodError: javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.setFeature

  java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.xml.jaxp.RegistryXMLInputFactory cannot be cast to javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory
    Error weblogic.xml.jaxp.RegistryXMLInputFactory cannot be cast to javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory

 java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/ClassLoader;)Ljavax/xml/parsers/DocumentBuilderFactory;
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/xerces/jaxp/datatype/XMLGregorianCalendarImpl$Parser




Because the classpath retrieve from different parts these implementations, including the JDK6 which bundles in it now.

This is how you can change by system properties the implementation, using xerces:

-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl -Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParser=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserImpl

maybe you'll need to add xercesImpl.jar to your classpath.
