Update Manager -> click Refresh button -> error box pops up with these 2 errors:
W: 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://archive.removed maverick-removed Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG A8A515F046D7E7CF removed Archive Automatic Signing Key <archive@removed>

Try importing the keys again as per the instructions in this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1669999
[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

Re: Update Manager, GPG error / BADSIG errors on Refresh
found the solution in some threads here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=803585
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... omments/24
looks like it's a minor bug...
basically running a series of these commands clears the errors:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo cd /var/lib/apt
sudo mv lists lists.old
sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
Regards

Thank you for posting this solution. I just had the same problem in Mint 12, and the commands you listed sorted it out.

I ran the following commands in Terminal:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo cd /var/lib/apt
sudo mv lists lists.old
sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
It still didn't fix my missing keys.
So, I just installed a program called "Y PPA Manager." In this program, there was an "Advanced" button that will help you find your missing PPA GPG keys. It worked for me!
