"InRelease: Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NODATA' (does the network require authentication?)" when updating package list
Here is what I see in my terminal:
user@user-OptiPlex-9020:~$ sudo apt-get update
Ign http://extras.ubuntu.com trusty InRelease
Ign http://in.archive.ubuntu.com trusty InRelease

E: GPG error: http://dl.google.com stable InRelease: Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NODATA' (does the network require authentication?)
I have the required authentication information in /etc/apt/apt.conf file:
Acquire::http::proxy "http://username:[email protected]:8080/";
Acquire::https::proxy "https://username:[email protected]:8080/";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "ftp://username:[email protected]:8080/";
I am not able to figure out the problem.
Answer
One way for that is to remove dl.google.com from your software update repositories,
for that, use System Settings -> Software & Update -> Other Software
and uncheck dl.google.com
then run
sudo apt-get update
I could not find a way to keep google in circle because I live in Iran & google refuses service to users in Iran.
