i was trying to select software sources to hopefully find more programs, and i was using the ubuntu software sources program. i selected software updates, and i selected the important, recommended, pre-released, and unsupported updates. and then i reloaded my sources file, and now all i get is this error:


Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty-security/Release Unable to find expected entry restriced/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Failed to fetch http://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/linux/ubuntu/ubuntu/dists/jaunty-updates/Release Unable to find expected entry restriced/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)

Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.


is there some fix i can do?

Open up your sources.list and remove the word
restricedfrom your sources.list

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.listthen remove restriced as shown in red below.

deb http://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/linux/ubuntu/ubuntu/ jaunty restriced main universe restricted multiverse
deb-src http://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/linux/ubuntu/ubuntu/ jaunty universe main multiverse restriced restricted #Added by software-properties
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-security restriced main universe restricted multiverse

deb-src http://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/linux/ubuntu/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates universe main multiverse restriced restricted

Hi all, sorry for jumping in here but im getting the folowing error.

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

W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty-proposed/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


But try as I might, I cannot find a cure.
This has come about since I updated from Ibex to jaunty.
