Package: dselect
Version: 1.13.21
I upgraded to testing/unstable, now I wanted to install x-window-system,
but I am asked: "Install these packages without verification?"
As searching www.debian.org did not help, I think it is a bug.

Hi,
The "Install these packages without verification?" message appears when
there is no public key with which to verify the source of a package
slated for installation. It does not come from dselect or dpkg.
During the update operation a message like...
Reading package lists... Done
W: GPG error: http://lpnotfr.free.fr ./ Release: The following
signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not
available: NO_PUBKEY 69B808D5570961A1
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
...would have been spit out (perhaps briefly, try: "dselect update").
Selecting a package from lpnotfr.free.fr would result in the
verification prompt.
The fix is to get a key for the repository (likely a 3rd-party or
unofficial one) and add it to /root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg. see
http://www.debian-multimedia.org/faq.html for an example of an
unofficial repository needing this step.
HTH
