I think it would be reasonable for the GUI to say: "you can't upgrade with these repositories. do you want me to disable them, or cancel?" > My opinion is that unsigned packages (or unsigned packages list) > shouldn't be allowed to be installed, as it is a common security risk > that I believe none of us wishes to take. I think the current Ubuntu tradeoff of making them allowed but discouraged is reasonable; you can hardly 'disallow' actions in an open system. But this bug has a much smaller scope: the tool does not implement its current design intention, and leaves the user stuck. -- Martin <http://launchpad.net/~mbp/> -- cannot proceed through dist-upgrade if using unsigned PPA packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218086 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
