I have a fresh and verifyed whonix 7 image (Downloaded on Dec.2013).
I never had problems with this image in the past, but now something looks wrong.
I know that the “404 not found” error is normal and so I dont worry, but I have two more errors and found nothing in the forum about that.
At first, I got the following error with “sudo apt-get update”:
W: There is no public key available for the following key IDs
Is this normal and ok? Or do I have to fix something?
Second, after the upgrade everything looks fine, but if I check one day later for updates I got following error:
W: Failed to fetch http://… Hash Sum mismatch
After a few days I have 4-5 update sources with this error.
Is this normal and ok? Or do I have to fix something?
I delete the VM and retried with the fresh Whonix-7 image for 3 times now, always the same problems.
I am not only answering for you, but generally, so please don’t wonder when I mention things you already know.

This is a known minor issue:

I just finished writing https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Download#There_is_no_public_key_available_for_the_following_key_IDs - please check if it answers your question.
Hi,
here you get an example, one day after upgrade.
The public key error is allways there, also in fresh image (verifyed before).
Directly after the upgrade I never see the Hash Sum error, but after a few hours I see the first, now after one day I see two and if I wait 1-2 days more I will get more Hash Sum errors.
on the apt-get update / hash sum errors -
i have been able to fix them by getting rid of all the old package lists by
sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists /some/temp/dir/
this will cause the next apt-get update to pull down completely fresh package lists from the repos which enabled me to install updates again.
