APT version 0.6.x.x,the meaning of warnings,and lack of signs of checks.
1)
I installed apt-0.6.46.4 from backports.org because I
wanted
security checks of Release.gpg not only the check of
the md5s.
However my first run of it(see above) does not show
any sign
of the checks.When I did apt-get update I saw the
download
of the files Release.gpg Release Packages.gz.Do apt
execute
all those checks silently,when we effectively install
the
packages?
2)
When I ran aptitude the first time with this new apt I
received this warning:
Apt errors warning: could not lock the cache file.
Opening in read-only mode.
What did that mean?Now I don´t receive it anymore and
aptitude opens normally,I didn´t do anything special
(as of my knowledge) to return to normal.
3)
Now I have all my installed packages from the CDs in
aptitude with the following warning:
warning(in red):
This version of the package is from an untrusted
source:
Installing this package could allow a malicious
individual
to damage or take control of your system.
Is that normal? APT didn´t effectively do the check of
the
CDs,is it because of that?
