I cannot solve the "Install these packages without verification" problem
- by Yonatan Orlev
I Googled and Googled and I just cannot find a solution to this problem:
sudo apt-get install <whatever>
Gives me:
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
and
Install these packages without verification [y/N]?
I cannot find a decent solution.
The closest I got was to run:
sudo apt-get install debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring
But then, even thought, and against my good judgment I agreed to install the package without confirmation, I get:
(I replaced http with XXXX because of forum limitations).
Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
Trying to run apt-get update also does not help:
I get tons of "404 Not Found" errors.
Can someone please direct me to a good solution to this problem?
I cannot understand why this issue is not better documented.
There must be a simple solution which allows me to update my list of sources or whatever.
