    Errors when updating Ubuntu

    I was using the latest beta of Ubuntu which I installed 3 days ago, with the recent release I am now getting this error in the terminal when running "sudo apt-get update"

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

    W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
    I have purged my PPA's but I get the same errors, what do I need to do? I don't really want to have to do a clean install.

    Re: Errors when updating Ubuntu

    Hi,
    try the following commands:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get clean
    sudo apt-get install -f
    sudo dpkg --configure -a
    sudo apt-get update
    Run them one at a time and post error messages if relevant.

    Also post the output of this:
    Code:
    cat /etc/apt/sources.list
