Hello All,
I have installed apt and have run apt-get upgrade. All the packages seem to have been downloaded, but none have installed due to either being unsigned or having unknown signatures.
How do I resolve this?
Thanks in advance.

You can
a) (probably safest is the apt source actually has a PGP key) look at /etc/apt/sources.list, visit each site, download the pgp key and import it into your gpg keyring... OR
b) add --no-checksig to the apt/apt-get command line. This will override the signature checking completely. While it's somewhat unlikely the Packman or ULB, etc., repositories would intentionally put 'bad' RPMs on their site, there's always that chance someone could tamper with something and you'd never know if the archive was changed...

OK.. since I am not ready to try to configure all the pgp and gpg keyring stuff, I opted for b. This is what I got .. I typed: apt-get upgrade --no-checksig I got: E: Command line option --no-checksig is not understood. What should I try at this point? .:Thinker
