I have one machine that is on 10.20 (my laptop), and a number of machines
till on 10.04, since it is a LTS. I amusing Virtualbox )non OSS version) on
several of the production machines, and I need to get it autodownloaded, so
that when the LTS machine upgradee to a new kernel version things do not
stop working.

On the 10.10 machine, apt-key list shows:

pub   1024D/98AB5139 2010-05-18
uid                  Oracle Corporation (VirtualBox archive signing key)
<info at virtualbox.org>
sub   2048g/281DDC4B 2010-05-18

On the 10.04 machines I have:

pub   1024D/98AB5139 2010-05-18
uid                  Oracle Corporation (VirtualBox archive signing key)
<info at virtualbox.org>
sub   2048g/281DDC4B 2010-05-18

The /etc/apt/sources.list line on the 10.10 machines is:

deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian maverick non-free

and on the 10.04 ones it is:

deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lucid non-free

On the 10.10 machine an apt-get update goes OK, but on the 10.04 ones it
does this:

W: GPG error: http://download.virtualbox.org lucid Release: The following
signatures were invalid: BADSIG 54422A4B98AB5139 Oracle Corporation
(VirtualBox archive signing key) <info at virtualbox.org>
W: Failed to fetch
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/dists/lucid/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2
Sub-process /bin/bzip2 returned an error code (2)

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones
used instead.

This has been like this for at least a couple of weeks, and I really need
to get the production machines sorted out.

Any idea what is wrong, and how I cna fix this?
