Hi all, For some time now my workplace has had an APT repository for in-house developed packages for software we either produce or support.
This lives on an internal intranet server and is accessed over plain HTTP. This has worked well for some time now. Until today I notice: > stuartl@qube:~$ apt-get source vrtlic -y --force-yes > Reading package lists... Done > Building dependency tree > Reading state information... Done > WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! > vrtlic > E: Some packages could not be authenticated Even though I tell apt-get to force download of the package sources (which, I might add, I can personally vouch for as I put them there), it refuses to do so because the package repository is unsigned. Now I *could* organise a gpg key to sign the repository with. I have administrative privileges on the machine concerned. I however can't be the only one to have this problem, and indeed searching reveals that others have been bitten by similar issues, such as a system rejecting their existing Debian installation CDs/DVDs/ISOs. Is there some way to force apt to proceed with the download?
