You don't need to worry about those files to get rid of your error.
They just contain the keys used to check the authenticity of the packages. As long as you have the medibuntu repository out of your sources.list configs then the system will just ignore the keys in that file.

~$ sudo grep -r 'medi' /etc/apt Binary file /etc/apt/trusted.gpg~ matches Binary file /etc/apt/trusted.gpg matches so I tried looking in the files to see if medibuntu is in them and to edit the files but they will not open with pico nor gedit; but the package managers seem to be working so I guess all is well. I even just installed a new package. :-)~MIKE~(-: On Wed, Dec 18, 2013 at 11:40 PM, Michael Butash <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: grep -r 'medi' /etc/apt They're breaking things somehow, remove/comment medibuntu ppa's, apt-get update. -mb On 12/18/2013 11:24 PM, Michael Havens wrote:That did it!

All you need to do to get rid of a repository is to delete the config file for it out of the apt config at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/<a___file_in_here.list> or to remove the line from the config file at /etc/apt/sources.list. After you've done that, just run "apt-get update" and it will clean out all the repositories that don't exist anymore as well as update all the ones that still do. After that, symantic should start working again. Brian On 12/18/2013 02:53 PM, Michael Havens wrote: oops.... what am I doing wrong?
