I have been encountering this problem since a long:
W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ maverick Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>
W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ lucid Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 4D17133CFC5D50C5
W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/ReleaseW: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Type the following in you terminal:
sudo aptitude -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True -o Acquire::BrokenProxy=true update
And then:
sudo apt-get update
And this will surely help you guys.
Thanks my friend is grateful to you
Many thanks man it works great!
It didn’t work for me. I have tried several ways and still get the following errors:
W: GPG error: http://archive.canonical.com lucid Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key
W: GPG error: http://archive.getdeb.net lucid-getdeb Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG A8A515F046D7E7CF GetDeb Archive Automatic Signing Key
I wonder if it has to do with proxi settings…
What do you refer with the proxy settings?
I am using 8.04 on a desktop at home. The error text below may be harmless . You judge please .
