What Ubuntu version are you using ? Can you switch to english locale to get the full output in English ?

I ran into the same situation in Feisty, not sure how debsig-verify ended up being installed as it is not part of a default install.

From http://wiki.debian.org/SecureApt:

"If you have the debsig-verify package installed, you might run into errors like this one:

dpkg: error
processing /var/cache/apt/archives/anjuta-common_1.2.4a-2_all.deb (--unpack):
 Verification on package /var/cache/apt/archives/anjuta-common_1.2.4a-2_all.deb failed!
Authenticating /var/cache/apt/archives/anjuta_1.2.4a-2_i386.deb ...
debsig: Origin Signature check failed. This deb might not be signed.

This actually has nothing to do with secure apt. debsig-verify checks for signatures embedded inside individual Debian packages. Since such signatures are not widely used (we use secure apt instead), it doesn't work very well to install this, and removing the debsig-verify package will fix the problem."
