Yes, I'm using unstable but somehow this authentication business seems to have passed me by.

Take a look at this: http://www.syntaxpolice.org/apt-secure/ If you just want to silence the errors, make sure gnupg's installed, then do: apt-key add /usr/share/apt/debian-archive.gpg

But the link I posted subsequently provides more information, including the advisability of installing gnupg, which I've now done.

If so, it might explain why authentication fails. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You didn't really tell anyone what you actually do have installed, now did you? Besides, the configuration setting described in the link I sent you is an apt setting, not a pbuilder setting, so it still might be right for you. -- regards, Christopher Pharo Glæserud -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

See http://lists.debian.org/deity/2005/06/msg00246.html Not really an explanation of why it happens, but it says how to get rid of the symptoms. -- regards, Christopher Pharo Glæserud -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Packages not authenticated - why?
On my laptop, whenever I try to install/upgrade packages I get a message saying that the packages cannot be authenticated and asking if I want to continue. I say I do and things then proceed normally. This does not happen on my desktop. Any way to fix this?
