Sounds all right to me. In case of minor APT problems, the first things I do are a clean followed by purging the cache. This means: apt-get clean apt-get autoclean If that doesn't help then I also nuke the APT package cache, which is in /var/cache/apt/archives . In your case, it sounds to me, at an educated guess, like you may need to reinstall the GPG keys for the official repos for some reason. I don't know how to do that but Googling such phrases may help. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/GoogleTalk/Orkut: lpro...@gmail.com Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 • Fax: + 44 870-9151419 AOL/AIM/iChat/Yahoo/Skype: liamproven • LiveJournal/Twitter: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • ICQ: 73187508 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
