could you post the entire message? this kind of error usually happens when you have enabled un-offical repositorys and do not have a 'public key' for these repositorys, a public key is used for security.

Hi john

If you are trying to download official ubuntu packages, then
You should install ubuntu-keyring as follows.

$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-keyring

and the said message will not appear.

that repository is not an offical ubuntu repository and as such you need to run the following command in order to get the GPG key, after that it should run fine :)

wget -q http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
