Comment 25 for bug 24234

It works now. Whoever fixed this, thanks.

I wouldn't call several days, however, a "brief timeframe" on a component as critical to Ubuntu's look and feel as Synaptic/APT.

I think whatever is causing this sync problem needs to be addressed at the core and dealt with once and for all. To me this smacks of a protocol problem and, thereby, as an opportunity for a protocol hack. If end-users start getting used to failing signatures to the point that they just ignore such messages, we're primed for some "man in the middle" attacks on the whole Ubuntu distribution scheme, no?
