After installing Ubuntu 13.10 I try to install ubuntu-restricted-extras or any software, it shows me:

E: GPG error: http://archive.canonical.com saucy InRelease: Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NODATA' (does the network require authentication

I am presently bumping into a similar issue with the CRAN repository. I am connected to a home network. — Luís de Sousa, Jan 01 '16 at 17:22

Does the network require authentication?

Actually I had the same issue. This caused by the network proxy and you have to check your network connection settings.

I get this error if I am some public wifi and have not opened a web browser and agreed to the terms of service. – Bert May 03 '14 at 16:22
