Aptitude is not very well geared to be used from scripts, see also the missing --quiet option which forces us to jump through hoops in cron-apt. > Or do you know such an environment variable for aptitude? Aptitude can be configured to allow unauthenticated packages to be installed via 'APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated "true";' in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. This can probably be set from the command line as well. However, older apts barf when confronted with that option :-( Since there are too many packages without signatures around, I have switched that feature off generally on all my sid machines.
