That's part of apt 0.6's new security feature. You must add to your apt set-up the gpg public key of the archives where you downloaded the packages. I think this has already been done for you if you download only official Debian packages. For adding the keys of unofficial sites, read the man page, or better, google for "apt-key". This assumes of course the maintainer signs his unofficial archive by creating the necessary Release (md5sum and sha1sums of the available packages) and Release.gpg (the detached gpg signature of the Release file). You can also try to create the Release and Release.gpg files yourself by using "apt-ftparchive." But that's a longer story (one that took me three days of googling to figure out). I hope my explanation doesn't read like a man page. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
