Similar problem installing skype on ubuntu natty beta. Tells me that the package is not of good quality, but dpkg installs it fine.... while I like ubuntu telling me there might be a problem, I don't appreciate it telling me I "can't" do so or stopping me from doing so. A similar problem annoys me with a current lucid installation where ubuntu software center stops me from installing non-authenticated packages, while apt at least asks me if I want to continue. Ubuntu should not stop me from doing something by "trying to protect" my computer, it's not ubuntu's computer for goodness sake.
