apt-get update : GPG Error

Asked by Guru Swaroop

Here is what I get in my terminal :

    user@user-OptiPlex-9020:~$ sudo apt-get update
    Ign http://extras.ubuntu.com trusty InRelease
    Ign http://in.archive.ubuntu.com trusty InRelease
    Get:1 http://dl.google.com stable InRelease
    100% [1 InRelease gpgv 1,661 B] [Connecting to 192.168.0.90 (192.168.0.90)] [WaSplitting up /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/dl.google.com_linux_chrome_deb_dists_stable_InRelease intoIgn http://dl.google.com stable InRelease
    E: GPG error: http://dl.google.com stable InRelease: Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NODATA' (does the network require authentication?)

I have the required authentication information in /etc/apt/apt.conf file:

    Acquire::http::proxy "http://username:password@192.168.0.90:8080/";
    Acquire::https::proxy "https://username:password@192.168.0.90:8080/";
    Acquire::ftp::proxy "ftp://username:password@192.168.20.0:8080/";

I am not able to figure out what is the problem...
Thanks in advance

Just to add...

When I try to download and install any application using ubuntu software center from the universe source i get the following error :

    Failed to download repository information
    Check your Internet connection
    details : E:GPG error: http://dl.google.com stable InRelease: Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NODATA' (does the network require authentication?)

I also get an Information saying :

    apt-file update needed
    You may need to update or create the apt-file cache. Running this command likely needs an active internet connection.

and when I click on "Run this action now" button, a terminal opens and closes immediately and all the downloads are failing with,

    the command exited with code 22
    curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden

any help is deeply appreciated...
thanks in advance

I assume there is something wrong with your access to the google repository server, maybe a typo error in a sources.list entry.

What is the output of the terminal command

grep google /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list

Revision history for this message
Guru Swaroop (guruswaroop45) said : 		#5

Hey Manfred, the output of the terminal command is :

    user@user-OptiPlex-9020:~$ grep google /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list
    /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list:deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

Revision history for this message
Manfred Hampl (m-hampl) said : 		#6

Try the following;

Open a terminal and issue the command

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

This should ask for your password as confirmation for an administrative action, and should then open an editor with the repository configuration file for chrome loaded.

Change "http:" into "https:", save the file and close the editor.

Then execute the terminal commands

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*
sudo apt-get update

and finally copy/paste all output into this question document.

Tried rebooting your home router?

Revision history for this message
Guru Swaroop (guruswaroop45) said : 		#9

My system is configured to use a proxy.
This system is part of a organizational network (LAN)

Revision history for this message
Manfred Hampl (m-hampl) said : 		#10

I see some options for you (not sure whether feasible or helpful):

1. Ask the IT department whether they are willing to reboot the proxy server.

2. Ask the IT department whether they know about problems to access dl.google.com via their proxy.

3. Try undoing the change from http to https in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list (will probably not help).

4. Disable the google-chrome repository from your list of sources (should get rid of the error messages, but google chrome will not be updated any more on your system).

Can you help with this problem?
