Binary package hint: apt
I have been getting errors when doing 'apt-get update':

W: GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <email address hidden>
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

So I tried to import the security key:
alan@chutney:~$ wget -q http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-security/Release.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
alan@chutney:~$ wget -q http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-security/Release.gpg -O-

Here's what my sources.list looks like... pretty straightforward:
alan@chutney:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted universe multiverse

Some black magic that I do not understand, but that has worked in this past, seems to have gotten me past the GPG problem.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that I am at work, and they most likely have some sort of HTTP proxy.
