apt repos not signed

[superbenny]

i recently installed easy peasy on my brand new, beautiful 1005HA, and everything works perfectly...except about half the software repos...whenever i try to update (in synaptic, or via apt-get update), i get the following:

W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>

W: GPG error: http://apt.jolicloud.org robby Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 356BB697B8B45DD0
W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/Release

I can't open the repo manager through synaptic>settings>repositories or through administration>software sources

jolicloud can't download/install the software either.

have you tried adding the keys manually. im not on my home machine right now so i cant reference but try and visit ubuntu website and see about adding keys.

I have not. I'll try that now. On a possibly related note, when I try to run the Software Sources "app" from the command line, I get this:

app = SoftwarePropertiesGtk(datadir=data_dir, options=options, file=file)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py", line 75, in __init__
SoftwareProperties.__init__(self, options=options, datadir=datadir)

Just added the gpg key that it said it was having issues with. Now after running sudo apt-get update, I get this:

W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>

W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...jaunty/Release

W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

sooo...same as before.

exactly what key did you add?

[superbenny]

exactly what key did you add?

i did

gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 40976EAF437D05B5

which translated to 437D05B5, apparently.

whatever it was, it was successful, but it didn't help anything.

run this sequence in terminal:

apt-get clean
cd /var/lib/apt
mv lists lists.old
mkdir -p lists/partial
apt-get clean
apt-get update
