We just resolved this problem. While the remedies listed didn't work, it turned out the the mirror had an inconsistent set of resources. Specifically the anl ubuntu mirror has most items under http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/, the lucid-updates is under http://mirror.anl.gov/ubuntu/, even thought there was another, older lucid-updates in http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/

So, when all else fails, look really carefully at sources.list and at the mirror.

Had the same problem.
I my case it was something fishy in the old apt lists.

Solved by deleting and reloading:

sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
sudo aptitude update

This worked me as well.
Thanks.

Anyone know why this error occurs though?

Thanks. I was pulling my hair out. This was the only suggested solution of many that actually worked for me.

Thanks a lot! Removing /var/lib/lists worked for me!

(After trying to fetch new keys, cleaning cache, etc, which didn't work)
