Ubuntu – Why MySQL Repository Key suddenly expired?

Here's the (easiest) solution:

Type the following commands in the Terminal:

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

Edit:

If the error occurs again (maybe after a few days/months), open Nautilus as root > navigate to var/lib/apt > delete the "lists.old" folder > then open the "lists" folder and delete the "partial" folder. Now, execute the aforementioned commands again.

By far the simplest way to handle this now is with Y-PPA-Manager (which now integrates the launchpad-getkeys script with a graphical interface).

1. To install it, first add the webupd8 repository for this program:

   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager
   

2. Update your software list and install Y-PPA-Manager:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install y-ppa-manager
   

3. Run y-ppa-manager (i.e. type y-ppa-manager then press enter key).

4. When the main y-ppa-manager window appears, click on "Advanced."

5. From the list of advanced tasks, select "Try to import all missing GPG keys" and click OK.

   You're done! As the warning dialog says when you start the operation, it may take quite a while (about 2 minutes for me) depending on how many PPA's you have and the speed of your connection.
