Although running an update in the GUI does throw up a warning if a

It seems to work fine for me (in visual mode of course). Could you give me a concrete example?

Christian Marillat's repository <http://debian.video.free.fr/> is currently failing the signature check; from the error message it looks like is signing the Release file with a different key than before.


$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall mplayer-nogui
...
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
  mplayer-nogui
Install these packages without verification? [y/N] n

Highlighting the package in aptitude, pressing L to reinstall, then g twice results in mplayer-nogui being installed with no warnings.
