I believe that this error is caused by a caching proxy which returns stale files, instead of actually retrieving the latest files from the mirror and returning that. In my case, it is a transparent squid proxy.
I added Acquire::http::No-Cache "true"; Acquire::http::Max-Age "0"; to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10broken_proxy On inspection of the HTTP traffic, the correct headers were sent in the request, but the proxy happily ignored them and returned a cached response. I guess I should report this as a squid bug, but that will not help the majority of users experiencing this problem any time soon. -- GPG error with apt-get (BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24061 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
