How can I fix my update problem. I am using Maverick 10.10 and update daily, however I get the warning triangle that tells me that the update information is outdated. After I perform an update it tells me that it was last updated 26 days ago.

Upon looking at the sources list in /etc/apt/sources.list it shows the following:

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ - Release i386 (20101007)]/ maverick main restricted
# See http:/ /help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.

You'll see this kind of message when one or more of your sources fails to update. Sometimes this is because your system can't get to one of the sites to download repository information (this is usually because of an outage at the site in question, a problem with an internet link somewhere along the path to the site, or a problem with DNS). Here it looks like you can't confirm the identity of the site, so Ubuntu doesn't think it is safe to use this source.

Based on your update output, you'll need to get the correct identity key for tuxfamily.org, or comment it out of your sources.

You should simply run: sudo apt-get update
