Not sure what's happening, you might want to try rebuilding it, it's a GPG failure.

[Mathew Hodson (mhodson)]

I believe this is the same as this Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=755342

It should be fixed in the package python-apt - 0.9.3.5ubuntu2

---------------
python-apt (0.9.3.5ubuntu2) trusty-proposed; urgency=medium

  * Do not only look at Release files, but look at InRelease files as well.
    Change the code to open Release and InRelease files with
    apt_pkg.open_maybe_clear_signed_file() which will ignore the signature if
    it exists. (LP: #1503979)
  * tests/test_auth.py: update for gnupg 1.4.18 (Closes: #755342)
