There is small possibility that man-in-the-middle [see wiki]
/untrusted mirror/ISP could provide you an infected package/wrong key
and it'll be forever in your system.
Make sure that you're getting all signatures/pgp public keys from
trusted sources (https://keyservers, an official CD) If you are really
paranoid about it.
