Then maybe you can help me to solve this problem I have when using it: building sources works for almost all packages, but when going to install them apt-build fails with this error: Building dependency tree... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: picwiz 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded. Need to get 0B/34.5kB of archives. After unpacking 106kB of additional disk space will be used. WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! picwiz E: There are problems and -y was used without --force-yes Segmentation fault I can still then install the package by hand with dpkg -i but I would like to have apt-build to do all the job. So I investigated a little in man pages of apt-key and apt-secure, but I couldn't find a working solution*. Any help will be appreciated. Bye. --------------------------------------------------------- * In fact I tried the following: 1) I created a gpg key for root: # gpg --gen-key 2) I signed with it the release file in local repository of apt-build: # cd /var/cache/apt-build/repository # gpg -abs -o Release.gpg Release 3) I have add teh key to the accepted ones: # gpg --armor --export rootkeyid | apt-key add - but this seems not to work since, according to what written in apt-secure man page, you need to update the signature every time a new package is uploaded to the repository, and this cannot be done automatically by apt-build after the compilation and before installing the package.
