I frequently cross this issue, and always have to google for an answer. Does anyone have a permanent fix for BADSIG errors from apt-get
?
W: GPG error:
http://download.virtualbox.org lucid
Release: The following signatures were
invalid: BADSIG 54422A4B98AB5139
Oracle Corporation (VirtualBox archive
signing key)
Here's the (easiest) solution:
Type the following commands in the Terminal:
$ sudo -i
# apt-get clean
# cd /var/lib/apt
# mv lists lists.old
# mkdir -p lists/partial
# apt-get clean
# apt-get update
Edit:
If the error occurs again (maybe after a few days/months), open Nautilus as root > navigate to var/lib/apt
> delete the "lists.old" folder > then open the "lists" folder and delete the "partial" folder. Now, execute the aforementioned commands again.
