Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.9-6
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

in some cases, aptitude complains about untrusted packages even if
APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated "true";
is set in apt.conf.d/90allow-unauthenticated.

This happens, for example, on systems that are testing the diff
package patch from Michael Vogt and Andreas Barth.

There should be an option to have aptitude accept these packages.

Additionally, aptitude should be more verbose in _what_ it doesn't
like with the packages or their signatures. Simply saying "untrusted
versions will be installed" isn't much help.

Greetings
Marc
