[Bug 707392] Re: Not possible to upgrade untrusted packages

[guillaume ramelet]

Do you think we can ask debian.slimdevices.com maintainers to add a pgp
key ?

For a reason the stable version of logitechmediaserver doesn't work here
with trusty, I use testing version then. My point is that I have to
update the package quite frequently (once a week), and have to use a
keyboard for it. (not quite convenient, this is an htpc)

Title:
  Not possible to upgrade untrusted packages

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  -------------------
  Summary: update-manager does not allow the download/installation of updated packages from "unauthenticated" sources.  Previous versions of update-manager have always given an option to continue anyway.
  -------------------

  As part of my list of updates this morning I had one from a third
  party (Squeezebox Server from debian.slimdevices.com), which is not
  key-signed.

  When I selected OK to upgrade all of them, I got a message box
  "Requires installation of untrusted packages" (The action would
  require the installation of packages from unauthenticated sources.).
  The only option is 'Close' and there is no indication of what to do to
  authorise this! It prevented me upgrading the other packages too,
  until I'd unchecked the squeezeboxserver package.

  I guess I'll have to do it via apt-get.

  I'm running 10.10, fully up-to-date, and update-manager version 1:0.142.20.
