How do I get keys to work with Chef's apt cookbook

Question

I'm running on 12.04 Ubuntu with Vagrant using Chef Solo.

The PPA repo: https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/postgresql-9.3 The apt coookbook: https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/apt

Here's the concerning part from my recipe.

apt_repository 'postgresql-9.3' do
  uri          'http://ppa.launchpad.net/chris-lea/postgresql-9.3/ubuntu'
  distribution 'precise'
  components   ['main']
  keyserver    'keyserver.ubuntu.com'
  key          'D878D6C2'
  deb_src      true
end

execute 'apt-key-update' do
  command 'sudo apt-key update'
end

execute 'apt-update' do
  command 'sudo apt-get update --fix-missing'
end

package 'zsh' do
  action :install
end

package 'postgresql-9.3' do
  action :install
end

And here's the error:

Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
  config.vm.box = "hashicorp/precise64"
  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080
  config.omnibus.chef_version = :latest
  config.vm.provision "chef_solo" do |chef|
    chef.cookbooks_path = ["chef/cookbooks"]
    chef.add_recipe 'apt'
    chef.add_recipe 'dotabay'
  end
end

Why not just include_recipe 'apt::default' instead of manually updating things? — sethvargo
I have chef.add_recipe 'apt' in my Vagrantfile, doesn't this do that already? Anyways, after adding that to my recipe, it still gives me the same error. — fivetwentysix
Post your Vagrantfile. If you have that recipe, you don't need to execute apt-get update stuff — sethvargo
If you vagrant ssh into the instance and run apt-get -q -y install postgresql-9.3=9.3.3-1chl1~precise1 what do you get? — sethvargo

Looking at https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/postgresql-9.3 you have the wrong signing key. It should be C7917B12.
