Go to System->Admin->Software Sources. There go to the Authentication tab, if you find a key from Google delete it and re-import the key from this page http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/aboutkey.html (right click and save in your computer) by clicking on the Import Key button. Reload and check whether the error occurs again

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

I'm having the same problem, I removed the key with apt-key, re-added with apt-key, still give me this error.

It find it odd that on Facebook, Google just made a post showing off the new BETA release and suddenly this became a problem.

This also affects me.
