2014-10-01Use Acquire::Allow{InsecureRepositories,DowngradeToInsecureRepositories}Michael Vogt
The configuration key Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories controls if apt allows loading of unsigned repositories at all. The configuration Acquire::AllowDowngradeToInsecureRepositories controls if a signed repository can ever become unsigned. This should really never be needed but we provide it to avoid having to mess around in /var/lib/apt/lists if there is a use-case for this (which I can't think of right now).

2013-09-26pkg from only trusted sources keeps being trustedDavid Kalnischkies
--allow-unauthenticated switches the download to a pre-0.6 system in which a package can come from any source, rather than that trusted packages can only come from trusted sources. To allow this the flag used to set all packages as untrusted, which is a bit much, so we check now if the package can be acquired via an untrusted source and only if this is the case set it as untrusted. As APT nowadays supports setting sources as trusted via a flag in the sources.list this mode shouldn't be used that much anymore though. [Note that this is not the patch from the BTS] Closes: 617690
2013-08-01unset LANGUAGE for showing [Y/n] answer hintsDavid Kalnischkies
nl_langinfo is used to acquire the YESEXPR of the language used, but it will return the one from LC_MESSAGES, which might be different from the language chosen for display of the question (based on LANGUAGE) so this commit removes the [Y/n] help text from the questions itself and moves it to the prompt creation in which the usage of LC_MESSAGES is forced for it, so that the helptext shown actually represents the characters accepted as input for the question. There is still room for problems of course starting with an untranslated "[Y/n]" but a translated YESEXPR or the problem that the question is asked in a completely different language which might have a conflicting definition of [Y/n] input or the user simple ignores the helptext and assumes that an answer matching the question language is accepted, but the mayority of users will never have this problem to begin with, so we should be fine (or at least a bit finer than before). Closes nothing really, but should at least help a bit with bugs like deb:194614, deb:471102, lp:1205578, and countless others.

- add trusted=yes option to mark unsigned (local) repository as trusted based on a patch from Ansgar Burchardt, thanks a lot! (Closes: #596498) Note that "apt-get update" still warns about unknown signatures even when [trusted=yes] is given for the source.
