Bug Description

Got a large number of "W: GPG-errors: http://security.ubuntu.com trusty-security Release: The following signatures could not be verified to open the open key that is not available: NO_PUBKEY 40976EAF437D05B5 NO_PUBKEY xxxx" when trying to sudo apt-get update. Tried to dowload them all again, but didn''t help. Then i tried to sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-extras-keyring, but then this happened, and tthere was an error trying to reinstall that package, so now that install is incomplete. It told me that the subprocess installed post-installation-script returned error code 2, and "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"

Note that some of my error-messages are in swedish, so some of this is just a rough translate. If you could help me resolve this, that would be much appriciated..

Flagged as a security vulnerability as I am now forced to install packages without authentication.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
