sudo aptitude update - results in - W: GPG error:

I have ssh-ed into a remote Ubuntu 8.04 desktop.

I did:

sudo aptitude update

Code:

So I did:

sudo apt-get update

That did not make any difference.
What should I do now?

Re: sudo aptitude update - results in - W: GPG error:

I tried all these:

Code:

sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True sudo aptitude update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True sudo apt-get -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True -o Acquire::BrokenProxy=True update sudo aptitude update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True -o Acquire::BrokenProxy=True

Still no luck -

Thanks.

Before I read the above suggestions, I googled and found:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...61/comments/24

Code:

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

That worked.
No more errors.

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

Any other ideas?

Here is my output for cat /etc/apt/sources.list:

I am totally willing to listen and learn.

EDIT

I went System---->Administration---->Software Sources and changed Source code to "Main"

I opened a terminal and entered

sudo apt-get update

and didn't get any errors.

I think I've got it fixed
