Just for the record, I'd just encountered this problem on a Linux Mint
box and the 'Workaround' of the 'Bug description' has solved it:

$ uname -a
Linux 3.2.0-58-generic #88-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 3 17:37:58 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ cat /etc/linuxmint/info
RELEASE=13
CODENAME=maya
EDITION="MATE 64-bit"
DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 13 Maya"
DESKTOP=MATE
TOOLKIT=GTK

Thanks a lot!

  I keep getting this when i launch the update manager.

  Run the following commands(saves a backup of the old lists and creates a new lists folder) and the BADSIG error does not occur :

  $ sudo mv lists lists.old
  $ sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
  $ sudo apt-get update

  comment from Rolf Leggewie: This is due to cache inconsistencies and
  thus is not necessarily a bug in Ubuntu at all.  But I hope the fine
  devs can find a way to better deal with broken proxies.  This is a
  very visible issue, a large number of internet connections are behind
  proxies and the users cannot do anything about it.
