Robbie, why has this been triaged as "Won't fix?" this causes real problems for people trying to run Ubuntu on machines behind Squid proxies that they don't control (for example in a corporate or university environment).
It seems to me that an appropriate fix would be for apt-get clean to actually remove the cached lists files, as well as the partial directory contents. At the moment, there's no apt-get command which properly cleans the downloaded files. As such, this is really a problem in Debian, not Ubuntu, and should be passed upstream. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24061 Title: GPG error with apt-get/aptitude/update-manager behind proxy (BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/24061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
