   wget http://packages.ros.org/ros.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get update

Try to remove the lists directory under /var/lib and then creat it again:

cd /var/lib/apt
sudo rm -fr lists
sudo mkdir lists
sudo mkdir lists/partial

And try updating again

sudo apt-get update

After that, follow the instructions under the installation guide again (Configuring repositories, set up the keys updating apt-get and installing)
