    Signatures are invalid for Extras Repo

    Starting yesterday my netbook has been giving me errors when I attempt to perform the recommended upgrades.

    When I go to the command line and type "sudo apt-get update", after listing some repositories, I'll suddenly get this.


    W: GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com oneiric Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>
    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 oneiric Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 16126D3A3E5C1192 Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>

    W: Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/Release

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

    Do I have a bad repo or something? This netbook isn't used much, and I try not to load anything but stable packages. Of the repos I have, I didn't see anything like an "extra" repo.

    I know the question will be asked to list the repos that it's accessing. How do I do that?

    Thanks!

    Re: Errors in Upgrading

    A quick google away (apt-get list repositories) I found this:
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Re...es/CommandLine

    Or you could look into the list available via Muon.

    I'd start by changing the server in use and try again.

      Changing the server from "US" to "Main" didn't do anything.

      However deleting the key, then reinstalling it seemed to work.

      Code:
      sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-extras-keyring

        I have noticed that in some cases changing servers does, indeed, produce different items for download.

          Update from last week

          Tried unselecting the extras repo, so I hunted around the internet and found a command to reissue the PGP key.

          Code:
          sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-extras-keyring
          Goes to install it, and get this warning.

          Code:
          WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
           ubuntu-extras-keyring
          I select it anyway, and I get this.

          Code:
          Setting up ubuntu-extras-keyring (2010.09.27) ...
          Importing extras.ubuntu.com keyring
          OK
          Processing extras.ubuntu.com removal keyring
          OK
          Then when I do a apt-get update, still get the error about the keys for the extras.

          Should I just delete the extras repo?
