I'm getting the following error when I try to update the repo's in Synaptic. This just recently started. Any ideas?
W: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>

SOLVED: I really did try that post earlier that was mentioned by SiKing, but after trying it once again, it worked. Thanks.

Re: GPG error in Synaptic
Yeah, I know that a lot of folks on here get frustrated when people don't even google their problems before posting. Believe me, I'm not one of those guys. I'd rather find the solution myself than ask for help. I have searched for a solution multiple times for several hours before posting to LM forums to no avail and had previously run across that post on Ubuntu forums. Didn't help. Thanks for trying, though. I thought that somebody here might have a different answer.

Re: GPG error in Synaptic
Could you post a copy of your sources list please?
/etc/apt/sources.list
Perhaps switching to a different mirror might be of help?

If you accept - and I do - that freedom of speech is important, then you are going to have to defend the indefensible. That means you are going to be defending the right of people to read, or to write, or to say, what you don't say or like or want said.
