gpgkeys not found on keyserver

So this error has been popping up a lot so I thought I'd resolve it:

W: GPG error: http://cfengine.com precise Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 535C743689107B44

So I did some research and tried these solutions

gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recV 535C743689107B44

and

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 535C743689107B44

both of which terminated with this message

gpgkeys: key 535C743689107B44 not found on keyserver

gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

gpg: Total number processed: 0

Any insights are appreciated

Maybe the GPG-key is not there (anymore).

If you want to install CFEngine Community Linux Packages:
from(http://cfengine.com/cfengine-linux-distros)

exerpt:
CFEngine 3 Linux Distributions:
Download and install the CFEngine GPG key(changed # to sudo because of formating):

sudo wget http://cfengine.com/pub/gpg.key

sudo apt-key add gpg.key

sudo rm gpg.key

Add the repository to the apt list of sources. If the add-apt-repository utility is installed on your system, you may simply run:

sudo add-apt-repository http://cfengine.com/pub/apt

... follow instructions on the website.
