Thanks Adrian!

I tried this to see if I could get a one-time over-ride:

Unfortunately, as you can see, I still get the warning.

I have a vague recollection of seeing something somewhere (I know -- I'm sorry I can't be more specific) that the version of apt in Jessie doesn't respond to "Check-Valid-Until".  Can anyone confirm or deny this?

I wonder if it is possible to get the Release file re-signed with an up-to-date key?

Thanks!
