When i try to install or update any packages I get:

Untrusted packages could compromise your system's security. You should only proceed with the installation if you are certain that this is what you want to do.

I strongly suspect this is related to the error i get on update:

I have tried reinstalling the key ring: sudo aptitude reinstall debian-archive-keyring (which surprisingly doesn't cause a warning).
