Anyway tried to install the latest mongodb installation using the ubuntu tutorial? I tried it before but can't seem to replicate it. I'm getting this error when doing sudo apt-get update

W: GPG error: http://repo.mongodb.org trusty/mongodb-org/3.2 Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG D68FA50FEA312927 MongoDB 3.2 Release Signing Key

The error message is not indicating that the public key is missing but rather that the signature is bad.

I too have same warning message, I have tried all solutions provided here, but nothing works.

The possible workaround is Install from tarball:

I am just copy & pasting commands here from above link.

  • Download the binary files for the desired release of MongoDB.

    curl -O https://fastdl.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.2.0.tgz

  • Extract the files from the downloaded archive.

    tar -zxvf mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.2.0.tgz

  • Copy the extracted archive to the target directory.

    mkdir -p mongodb
cp -R -n mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.2.0/ mongodb

Note:

Don't just add keys from error messages. Only add keys you trust. Because any repository with this key, would be able to install any package without warning.

EDIT:

mongodb 3.0 has no warning messages,

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10
echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu trusty/mongodb-org/3.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.0.list
sudo apt-get update

  • The given key was from mongodb official documentation so I trusted it. But still it gives the error message and Installing tarball is a bit lame.

  • @Raven I've just submitted an issue regarding the GPG key and I think they fixed it already. Can't try it now because I need my documents but I'll be happy if you try it out yourself. :)
