- Allow the update operation to load data files from
- a repository without a trusted signature. If enabled this
- option no data files will be loaded and the update
- operation fails with a error for this source. The default
- is false for backward compatibility. This will be changed
- in the future.
+ Allow update operations to load data files from
+ repositories without sufficient security information.
+ The default value is "<literal>false</literal>".
+ Concept and implications of this are detailed in &apt-secure;.

- Allow that a repository that was previously gpg signed to become
- unsigned durign a update operation. When there is no valid signature
- of a previously trusted repository apt will refuse the update. This
- option can be used to override this protection. You almost certainly
- never want to enable this. The default is false.

- Note that apt will still consider packages from this source
- untrusted and warn about them if you try to install
- them.
