I'm not sure what went wrong, but:

$ gpg --no-default-keyring --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --recv 359AAB34
gpg: requesting key 359AAB34 from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net
gpg: no writable keyring found: eof
gpg: error reading `[stream]': general error
gpg: Total number processed: 0

Any idea?
