Upgrade Failed, signature invalid

[The-QA-Geek]

I attempted to upgrade (through the GUI) from 25.7 to 26.1 just a couple of days after the January release, but got "failed, signature invalid". I immediately tried again and got the same failure, so I waited a couple of weeks and tried again today. Same failure - signature invalid. So I tried again today, and this time it upgraded.

I searched and couldn't find any reports of this on the forum, and I have never seen it before until this upgrade - is this as rare as I think it is? Any suggestions as to the cause?
