I cannot update the ubuntu-keyring package on my Ubuntu WSL.

I tried to run sudo apt update ubuntu-keyring and this is the command output:

I also tried to download the ubuntu-keyring_2018.09.18.1-4_all.deb file and then install it using sudo dpkg --install ubuntu-keyring_2018.09.18.1-4_all.deb, but the same error shows up.
