Thanks for you quick response. Yes I am using the network from behind a government proxy server in Saudi Arabia. I ran "sudo apt-get update" as you suggested, but the problem did not go away and I got the following message from that command:
( W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://sa.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-updates Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <[email protected]> W: Failed to fetch http://sa.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid- updates/Release W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems ) I ran update-manager too and got the same message stated in the bug- report after pressing the 'Check' button. Many thanks. --- On Wed, 3/25/09, Michael Vogt <[email protected]> wrote: From: Michael Vogt <[email protected]> Subject: [Bug 347765] Re: Update manager reporting errors To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, March 25, 2009, 12:51 AM Thanks for your bugreport. This error indicates that something went wrong with the network update, Are you behind a proxy server? Does the problem persists or does it go away when you run "sudo apt-get update" in a terminal window? ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Michael Vogt (mvo) -- Update manager reporting errors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/347765 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug.
