Bug Description
I keep getting this when i launch the update manager.
W: GPG error: http://
signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic
Signing Key <email address hidden>
How can I fix it?
***********
WORKAROUND:
----------
Run the following commands(saves a backup of the old lists and creates a new lists folder) and the BADSIG error does not occur :
$ cd /var/lib/apt
$ sudo mv lists lists.old
$ sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
$ sudo apt-get update
***********
comment from Rolf Leggewie: This is due to cache inconsistencies and thus is not necessarily a bug in Ubuntu at all. But I hope the fine devs can find a way to better deal with broken proxies. This is a very visible issue, a large number of internet connections are behind proxies and the users cannot do anything about it.

By simply waiting. This happens at times during archive updates.
