1) I installed apt-0.6.46.4 from backports.org because I wanted security checks of Release.gpg not only the check of the md5s. However my first run of it(see above) does not show any sign of the checks.When I did apt-get update I saw the download of the files Release.gpg Release Packages.gz.Do apt execute all those checks silently,when we effectively install the packages?
2) When I ran aptitude the first time with this new apt I received this warning: Apt errors warning: could not lock the cache file. Opening in read-only mode. What did that mean?Now I don´t receive it anymore and aptitude opens normally,I didn´t do anything special (as of my knowledge) to return to normal. 3) Now I have all my installed packages from the CDs in aptitude with the following warning: warning(in red): This version of the package is from an untrusted source: Installing this package could allow a malicious individual to damage or take control of your system. Is that normal? APT didn´t effectively do the check of the CDs,is it because of that? mycomputer:~# apt-get install libvte-dev xmlto lsb-release Reading package lists...
