Apt-get NO_PUBKEY error after trying to install mongodb

Question

I issued this command to try to install mongodb

wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.2.asc | sudo apt-key add -

It all seemed fine untill I tried to run apt-get update and got a NO_PUBKEY error. I tried with sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys <PUBKEY> and did not work at all. Now I don't even get the NO_PUBKEY error while trying to update. I get a 0% [Waiting for headers] and then this is what I get:

Despite not having any connection issues.

Reinstalling apt is my last resort but I don't really know how to do that and I'm afraid I could only make things worse

Trusty Tahr (14.04) was released in April 2014 and reached end of Public support in April 2019. Are you still using 14.04? — Kulfy, Apr 07 '20 at 13:33
The error has nothing to do with MongoDB. You are encountering error becuase of Steam's repository. It seems repo.steampowered.com is down at the moment. You can either disable that or wait for Steam to fix. — Kulfy, Apr 07 '20 at 13:36
i truncated the output to the last lines because i can't post too many links since i'm new, it was not only about steam but all the repositories. — toploz, Apr 07 '20 at 13:38
You need not to worry about the other ones. See What does 'Ign' , Get or 'Hit' mean when running an apt-get update? — Kulfy, Apr 07 '20 at 13:45

For me the solution was install y-ppa-manager and with the ui menu install missing gpg keys. I share my solution, i hope its helps

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install y-ppa-manager

then run the app with "y-ppa-manager" and in the menu press "advanced" option, and the press "try to import all missing GPG keys".

reference image of y-ppa-manager and what need to press

if is not the solution you need, well good luck
