Hi all, Just tried to install a package to solve a problem I'm having with my DHCP lease when apt told me something I've never heard it say before: delboy:~$ apt-get install dhcpdump Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: libpcap0.8 tcpdump The following NEW packages will be installed: dhcpdump libpcap0.8 tcpdump 0 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. Need to get 394kB of archives. After unpacking 893kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! libpcap0.8 tcpdump dhcpdump Install these packages without verification [y/N]? E: Some packages could not be authenticated delboy:~$ Is this new and is authentication/verification soon to be applied across the whole apt repository? How does it work exactly? Do any extra apt packages need to be installed? sebyte -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
