apt-get update gives this error after fetching and "reading package lists..."

On install of MythTv from apt-get it downloads serveral things then after a while

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

What's wrong with my repos, or what is wrong? How do I fix this? Thanks,

First, try getting the updates a bit later. Or run:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

again, and then try to get the updates, and see if the GPG key problem goes away. See this bug report from Launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ger/+bug/24061
That bug report is a bit old though, so it may be no longer be valid. In any case, running
"sudo apt-get update" again will not hurt anything.
If that does not fix it, then see this in order to fix the GPG key BADSIG error:

Hope this helps.

interestingly enough I just pulled a fresh .list file to replace the one I was using, after an apt-get update everything worked great.

Thanks,

This is easily solved by replacing your apt sources list with just a single entry - as explained here: http://www.spiration.co.uk/post/1458...404-Not-Found-[IP:-91.189.88.45-80]
