Have you read apt-secure(8) manpage as the explanatory notice (N:)
attached to the *warning* message says?
It explains why you see the *warnings*, that it is the propose of the
switch to downgrade the *errors* to a *warning* (so that worked as
intended) and it mentions how to configure that in sources.list – also
hinting at "trusted".

Title:
apt-secure ignoring allow-unauthenticated during apt-update
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
It appears apt-get update is completely ignoring the allow-
unauthenticated switch. This initially provided a significant
roadblock to getting the system to recognize a trusted local
repository as most literature and posts refer to use of this switch. I
was able to discover a workaround though the time invested was steep.
The [trusted=yes] option in sources.list(5) functions correctly and
will bypass this authentication check. It would be helpful at a
minimum if the apt --allow-unauthenticated description in the apt-get
documentation referred to sources.list(5) option trusted=yes with an
example if this switch is being deprecated.
Steps for Reproduction.
Bootup 16.10 LiveCD
Add to APT Sources
deb file:/tmp/local/ ./
Run the command, "apt-get --allow-unauthenticated update"
Output as follows with no internet connection:

*Initial apt-get --allow-unauthenticated update failed due to missing release
file.
Generated generic release file to obtain the above output.
"apt install" for packages included cannot find desired package.
Local repo was set up via these instructions:
