When I ran "sudo-apt update" command in Terminal, I get the following error.

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Turning to the Ubuntu Forum, I get advise on running the following commands to rectify the missing keys issue.

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 3AD52A40B98E84D3

gpg --export --armor 3AD52A40B98E84D3 | sudo apt-key add -

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 9BDB3D89CE49EC21

gpg --export --armor 9BDB3D89CE49EC21 | sudo apt-key add -

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv A6DCF7707EBC211F

gpg --export --armor A6DCF7707EBC211F | sudo apt-key add -

I encountered 2 keys that still generate update errors. Heading back to the Forum, I get the following steps to rectify the issue.

sudo -i

apt-get clean

cd /var/lib/apt

mv lists lists.old

mkdir -p lists/partial

apt-get clean

apt-get update

Problem solved.
