Google Chrome PPA upgrade invalid signature

Question

When running:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I got this output:

Is this bit:

W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.

Anything to worry about? I ran the commands again and now it says:

The following packages will be upgraded:
  google-chrome-stable
1 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
Need to get 48.5 MB of archives.
After this operation, 4,096 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] 

So what does this mean and should I trust this upgrade? This upgrade is from a PPA that Google Chrome added when I installed it from the official Google page for it.

Here is more information about that PPA:

OS Information:

Description:    Ubuntu 14.10
Release:    14.10

Answer 1

Open a terminal and enter the following:

wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

That will import Google's updated GPG Key.

You should be able to update the system without any errors.

Answer 2

This site has the only solution that worked for me on 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/03/fix-failed-to-fetch-google-chrome-apt-error-ubuntu

(Here's a summary. Please see the site for more detail)

1. Edit google-chrome.list (assuming you’re on the Stable Channel, if not, see the featured comment on the site):

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

2. In the text file that opens edit the file so that the line reads:

   deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
   

3. Try update again

   sudo apt-get update
   

Answer 3

This will work better than these solutions:

apt-key list google

You will see this on this list, take not [E] means expired and look at the last 7FAC 5991

pub   dsa1024 2007-03-08 [SC]
      4CCA 1EAF 950C EE4A B839  76DC A040 830F 7FAC 5991
uid           [ unknown] Google, Inc. Linux Package Signing Key <linux-packages-keymaster@google.com>
sub   elg2048 2007-03-08 [E]

pub   rsa4096 2016-04-12 [SC]
      EB4C 1BFD 4F04 2F6D DDCC  EC91 7721 F63B D38B 4796
uid           [ unknown] Google Inc. (Linux Packages Signing Authority) <linux-packages-keymaster@google.com>
sub   rsa4096 2016-04-12 [S] [expires: 2019-04-12]

You will do now:

sudo apt-key del 7FAC5991

Then you will do these commands:

sudo apt-get clean
cd /var/lib/apt
sudo mv lists lists.old
sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

And after that's done you will do this to install keyring from another keyserver:

wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

And then you do:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Now you are all set. :)
