Hi debian, It's seem that I have an especially stubborn apt on my hands. Each of the settings I put in my /etc/apt/apt.conf are getting blatantly ignored by apt.
# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf APT::Default-Release "testing"; APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists=1; APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages=1; APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval=30; APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated 1 ; # apt-show-versions apt apt/testing uptodate 0.6.43 As you can see, I have setted the "AllowUnauthenticated" option, as mentioned in [1] but I still receieve the "Untrusted package" warnings. Also, to my knowladge, no periodic downloading or updating of anything is occuring. Help? Thank you for reading. <<< # aptitude install sawfish [snip] The following NEW packages will be installed: libgmp3c2 librep9 rep rep-gtk sawfish 0 packages upgraded, 5 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
