I have virtualbox repository in my sources. I didn't have it's signing key added. This source used to work correctly, though it caused warnings. But now `apt-get update` refuses to update this source. After I added the key, it works correctly.

Is it possible that you had the signing key once in your keyring? And
that it was deleted from there again?

No, I didn't have and I got a warning about it each time.

... one more thing: synaptic shows _empty_ error message now, so I only succeeded in getting the real cause from apt-get output. Synaptic used to show correct error message before.

 Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.

I confirm that apt refuses to update/install packages for which the signing key is missing. Perhaps this was a change in policykit that causes this new behavior?

Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
