I am having problems with the following (in an attempt to remove hyperlinks, I have removed one of the "/" from the addresses):

I have tried the following solutions which were in a closed case titled "The following signatures were invalid":

First of all try

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Some ISPs cache the packages and errors like these are reported then. 
If the above commands don't work, try

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

and again

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

If it still doesn't work,

sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::BrokenProxy=true 

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
