KPackageKit fails to install package from untrusted sources (GPG key missing), but asks anyway

[Daniel Hahler]

Binary package hint: kpackagekit

The following fails silently, after having asked me if I want to install the unverified package:
  $ kpackagekit --install-package-name kcachegrind-dbgsym

(the GPG key was missing).

After having added/imported the key, it would probably work, but now failed with another/irrelevant(?):
"Failed to fetch http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/k/kdesdk/kcachegrind-dbgsym_4.4.2-0ubuntu3_i386.ddeb 403 Forbidden file type or location" (also with apt-get, but Firefox worked then).

A missing GPG key won't give anything more than a warning. I'd say that the 403 was the root cause both times.

Sorry, re-opening (I think we misunderstood):

it pops up a dialog to ask if I want to install from the untrusted source - and does not just issue a warning.

Why does it ask, when it will only issue a warning anyway?
