Fixing BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5

If you ever get the message “BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5″ or something similar, the following steps executed as adminstrator will fix the problem. These steps are rebuilding the apt lists directory in /var/lib/apt and worked for me on UBUNTU 11.04.

apt-get clean
cd /var/lib/apt
mv lists lists.old
mkdir -p lists/partial
apt-get clean
apt-get update
