Melinda, your command entered and I quote is (see above)

melinda@gPC3:~$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo

now, take a look at what was mentioned by Andy, quote

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

i hope you see the difference.

In a previous post the output contains the following information.

  Unpacking medibuntu-keyring (from .../medibuntu-keyring_2008.04.20_all.deb) ...
  Setting up medibuntu-keyring (2008.04.20) ...
  OK

So, yes your problem is solved.

I can only apologize as really those who have answered this question instead of giving you complex multi commands to execute off one line should really have took you through each single command.
