GPG error?

[jklick]

I'm also getting the same error.

W: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy-updates Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>

me as well:

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

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

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

Try this from

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...&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.

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!

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.

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

[addroof]

It still works for me
Thank you
