[PLUG] Ubuntu Mate Update Weirdness

[Rigel Hope]

per the VB website (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads), see
"What to do when experiencing *The following signatures were invalid*..."

I would say you might want to reinstall the repo, apt clean, and then apt
update again, but some years back I wound up in apt-get hell when dealing
with VB according to their instructions. It prompted me to look at KVM and
eventually containerization, actually, but i digress.

It does appear to me that theyre separate errors of the same type with both
VB and GE.

For GE, it looks like the Desktop version is "Pro" now, and the standard
version is a chrome app. For the Pro download there is a new ToS agreement
dated Jan 31 of this year. That might be part of your issue?
