W: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com trusty Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 16126D3A3E5C1192 Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>

I tried the accepted solution offered in this link but it did not solve my problem.

I did not try the solution provided Portablejim because I did not understand what the key 16126D3A3E5C1192 is for in the command:

sudo apt-key del 16126D3A3E5C1192

I also changed servers to download from but no luck.

I went ahead and tried the suggestion from Portablejim in the link in my question.

I first deleted the key

sudo apt-key del 16126D3A3E5C1192

I got a response: OK

I updated repository and got no error

sudo apt-get update

And when I ran

sudo apt-key finger

I did get the "Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key"

So I went ahead with the upgrade without adding the key and it went through.
