Bug#353800: apt: Apt refuses to authenticate any package from verified sources

[Barrie Millar <solar@frondeg.co.uk>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.6.43.2
Severity: normal


Hi
  
I have recently upgraded Apt to the newest version from the one contained in
Sarge version 3.1r0. Despite having installed the correct keys for the
Debian archives as well as the package debian-archive-keyring, I am getting
unauthenticated warnings for all packages downloaded from Debian servers.  

A couple of examples are shown below

WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
  libsmpeg0 libopenal0 libsdl-net1.2 scorched3d-data scorched3d

WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
  gaim gaim-data

This would be relatively normal error if the 2006 key was missing for the
Debian archives. However, this is not the case in this example and no errors
are produced by "apt-get update". I'm at a loss to explain this problem and 
therefore assume it must be a bug with apt. I'm submitted it here for that  
reason.

Thanks

Regards,

Barrie
