Errors when updating package list with apt-get on (K)ubuntu
You will need to import the correct GPG keys for each repository. So, for each missing key, run this command:
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com KEY
In your case, you are missing the keys for A040830F7FAC5991
, 40976EAF437D05B5
and 16126D3A3E5C1192
, you can get all three by running:
for key in A040830F7FAC5991 40976EAF437D05B5 16126D3A3E5C1192; do
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com $key; done
After running this command, try sudo apt-get update
again and it should work perfectly well.
Update, I was assuming that reimporting the keys would fix them, it looks like that did not work. Try this instead (source):
sudo apt-get clean
sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists /var/lib/apt/lists.old
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

I get some errors when trying to update the package list with
sudo apt-get update
command, specifically the error messages are as follows:W: GPG error: http://dl.google.com stable Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG A040830F7FAC5991 Google, Inc. Linux Package Signing Key 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.canonical.com precise Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com precise Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 16126D3A3E5C1192 Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key W: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release W: Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I'm using Kubuntu 12.04.
EDIT
I performed the commands suggested by terdon in his answer, but it still doesn't work; when trying to update the keys, I got the following output:Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /tmp/tmp.OE3Vb6NDgl --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com A040830F7FAC5991 gpg: requesting key 7FAC5991 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com gpg: key 7FAC5991: "Google, Inc.

And trying to use
sudo apt-get update
still gives me the same errors as before.-
Beefy_Swain about 11 yearsI hate to be that guy, but you have tried restarting, and trying a different network right?
-
Sekhemty about 11 yearsYes. I managed to solve it with the latest terdon's advice, thank you anyway ;)

-
Sekhemty about 11 yearsIt didn't work. I edited my question by adding what I obtained.
-
Sekhemty about 11 yearsI've also tried to delete the not-working keys before updating, this time they are correctly imported (at least I think so) but for each one of these, I get the message
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
and keep getting the errors of my original question. Do you have some more suggestions? -
terdon about 11 years@Sekhemty see updated answer.
-
Sekhemty about 11 yearsThis time it worked, I went trough the update process without any errors. I suppose that it is safe to delete the
lists.old
directory now, right? -
terdon about 11 yearsYes, that is just a backup just in case, you should not need it if the command worked.
