Add another user - scratching his head. I get the same error!

Sometimes it's just a bug, and not your fault. I have created a bug at:

https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18088

Cheers,

[kiwibird]

[mapman]

Yes, myself as well. Then I run another sudo apt-get update soon after and I don't get the error.:confused:

[ivago]

same prob here... tired switchin' my sources.list and such without luck.. running apt-get update a few times is not the solution... this bug keeps comin back and back and back... :( man i wish i'd found the holy distro :wink:

[billiejoex]

It seems to be a repository server problem not regarding the distro itself.

[heyanowut]

Try this from

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=373441&highlight=GPG

1) Restore the default keys in Synaptic (settings > repositories > authentication > restore desault keys

2)

code:

sudo apt-get clean



3) Change the repositories (/etc/apt/sources from http://us.archive.ubuntu.com to http://archive.ubuntu.com This actually got rid of one of the BADSIG instances but I still had one......

4) Commented out the cd in /etc/apt/sources

Finally::

5) I found on another forum, the suggestion to create a new /var/lib/apt/lists folder. (you also need a new lists/partial folder...) I renamed my old lists folder then created a new one with:

code:

:/var/lib/apt$ sudo mkdir -p lists/partial



Then one more

code:

sudo apt-get clean


code:

apt-get update

This worked for me (so far) but I don't seem to be getting many updates. Thanks to jkmb111.

[thepete]

heyanowut... it's four years later and your advice fixed things for me! Thank you!! I've been looking for a solution for days and following the process you detail above from 1-3 solved my problem. I can now install. YES!

[devilgate]

Like thepete, it's years later, I'm on Jaunty, yet the solution here worked for me. I had to remove "gb.", rather than "us.", since I'm in the UK, but otherwise the same.

[cadaverousmob]

Using Lucid 10.04 and jkmb111's (per heyanowut) solution still works!

[addroof]

It still works for me
Thank you

This part, by itself, worked for me on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. And it's 5 years later - why don't they fix this thing? It's still the exact same message: "BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5..."

[Ve5ahchoo8ah]

Worked for me after 6 years!!

[aloyr]

this worked for me, but i had to ADD the 'us.' to the sources.list...

[euroford]

The most easy way is remove the temp file in /var/lib/apt/lists/partial, and sudo apt-get update.
