Dear All,

the problem is solved. In /etc/apt/apt.conf I found this:

APT::Install-Recommends "false";
APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated "false";
APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated "true";

AllowUnauthenticated had one "true", one "false"!
I dont know why! I dont remember if I ever edited that apt.conf, I believe 
not. However, after deleting the third argument

APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated "true";

APT-GET and MUON check the files without complaining they would not be 
authenticated.
Thanks a lot,
marwell
