--force-yes is deprecated, and enables 3 specific --allow switches (downgrade,remove-essential,change-held-packages), but --allow-unauthenticated is not one of them. Well, sort of: If it prompts interactively, it also accepts --force-yes. For some reason the download command asks the auth checking code to not prompt the user, so the only way out is to use --allow-unauthenticated. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
