options:
1: Check disk space for your /var/lib/apt directory/filesystem
2: reload/retry
3: try nz2.archive.ubuntu.com (Ihug)
I am updating from citylink (nz.archive.ubuntu.com) with no errors, and
did the same from ihug (nz2.archive.ubuntu.com) five minutes ago
Signature errors are usually because either the data file
(intrepid-updates/Release here) wasn't downloaded correctly, or because
the signature (intrepid-updates/Release.gpg) wasn't downloaded
correctly. Both problems tend to occur if your file system has run out
of space (or, in rare cases, a lack of inodes), or if you started a
download at about the same time as a repository resynchronisation was
updating either of those files.
If the problem was a timing issue at the repository, a repeat of the
apt-get update should fix the problem.
If your disk has run out of space/inodes, then you need to fix that.
