I can reproduce this bug. We have an internal deb repo, and I don't have the pub key. I tried
sudo apt-get -o Apt::Get::AllowUnauthenticated=true update sudo apt-get -o Apt::Get::AllowUnauthenticated=1 update sudo apt-get --allow-unauthenticated=true update sudo apt-get --allow-unauthenticated=1 update and the result was apt-get complaining: W: GPG error: http://[local repo] Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY [KEY] Info: - kernel 2.6.35-22-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Sun Oct 10 09:24:00 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux - apt version: apt 0.8.3ubuntu7 for i386 compiled on Oct 5 2010 14:07:36 ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- Apt is ignoring the Apt::Get::AllowUnauthenticated option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/625042 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
