This bug affects me on Quantal, running apt 0.9.7.5ubuntu5.1

When I connect to a LAN (not connected to the Internet), I get a stop
sign icon in my indicator area. Once reconnected to the Internet I get a
similar error when running apt-get update:

Reading package lists... Error!
W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not 
updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: 
http://extras.ubuntu.com quantal Release: The following signatures were 
invalid: BADSIG 16126D3A3E5C1192 Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key 
<[email protected]>

[...]

E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList 
/var/lib/apt/lists/gb.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_quantal_main_i18n_Translation-en
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

As a resolution for this, I have to empty /var/lib/apt/lists/ and run
apt-get update, upgrade and update again.
