Software Centre will not download software

Question

Software Centre will not download anything at all. Gives an error message saying it 'Failed to download package - Check internet connection'. And, sometimes, if you try again, 'involves downloading untrusted packages'.

Any ideas?

sudo mv lists lists.old
sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
sudo apt-get update
