[ubuntu-za] Continual error message in top right screen

Thu May 31 09:06:08 UTC 2012

Hi

Thanks for the advise Hilton
I did it and it downloaded and installed alot of new stuff, but then gave
me this error:

Fetched 1 112 kB in 3min 15s (5 696 B/s)
Reading package lists... Done
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 precise Release: The following signatures were
invalid: BADSIG 16126D3A3E5C1192 Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing
Key <ftpmaster at ubuntu.com>

W: Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release

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

What does this mean, is it possible for the Za servers not to have the full
packages?

Leon
