What were you trying to do?
Based on the below, I'd say you were trying to build a Debian package
and that bombed when it tried to sign the package because you do not
have the private GPG key of thierry at thierry-ThinkPad.  Nor should you.

Looks like you hit

 https://github.com/Ordissimo/scangearmp2/issues/5

You should be able to work around by telling debuild to skip signing the
package.  From memory

 debuild -us -uc

Hope this helps,
