To disable the unauthenticated warning

sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade -y –allow-unauthenticated

while “upgrade” only upgrades, “dselect-upgrade” installs new packages if required

-y answers “yes” to simple questions like “xxx Mb of disk space will be needed…”

–allow-unauthenticated can be used only with the option “-y” and disables the unauthenticated warning. You could use “–force-yes”, but that would be far more dangerous ‘cos it answers “yes” to EVERY question

Good to know this still helps people! I myself have moved on to a better distro (arch)

Thanks man, it worked perfectly! Although at first I thought it didn’t work. But I always confuse ‘update’ and ‘upgrade’ so I made a typo. So everybody who has the problem that it doesn’t work, try copy-pasting the things up here in the terminal first.

It usually takes a few days before a new version comes into the repo, so please be patient
