Seems 'sudo apt-get clean' and 'sudo apt-get autoclean' got rid of a
problem in the cache as JFM suggested.
Thanks folks.

I've been having an issue with one of my machines that is running Linux Mint

This causes update to fail.
There are many (misleading) posts about things to do on the net, none of
which have worked for me. I think the gpg signatures might be the issue, and
I'm tempted to simply delete them from the /etc/apt/ area, which in 13.04 is
no longer set up with apt.conf but has a directory apt.conf.d that is much
more complex to sort out.
Anyone with experience of this problem?
No issues here. Maybe something is stale. What do your apt keys look like?
$ sudo apt-key list
