Salvaging the updates system

I am getting this error:



W: There is no public key available for the following key IDs:
1397BC53640DB551
W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/Release Unable to find expected entry 'universe/binary-amd64/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)


/etc/apt/sources.list contains only this, after trying the available solutions:



deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main universe restricted multiverse



Have tried following this and other questions to no avail. How hard is it to fix this mess up?



Will an upgrade to version 16 have any chance of circumventing the issue? I am currently on version 14.04 LTS. Prior upgrades have been painful.
