Nonsense. It does work. Just ignore the error, and bravely proceed
....or, if the error really bothers you, then run this command
before installing:

wget -O - http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | apt-key add

Anyway, just for kicks, I did install it on my system without the
key, and it does work. First, after adding the repository, update. Here
is the update result (as you pointed out above):

Fetched 30.1kB in 7s (3892B/s)

Then, you do the install, where it will give a bunch of warnings, and,
because you want opera, you'll confidently say "yes" when it asks if
you really want to install opera (see below):

debian:/home/mark# aptitude install opera Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done

The following NEW packages will be installed:
opera
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 5655kB of archives. After unpacking 13.1MB will be used.
WARNING: untrusted versions of the following packages will be installed!

Untrusted packages could compromise your system's security.
You should only proceed with the installation if you are certain that
this is what you want to do.

opera

Do you want to ignore this warning and proceed anyway?
To continue, enter "Yes"; to abort, enter "No": Yes
Writing extended state information... Done
Get:1 http://deb.opera.com etch/non-free opera 9.24-20071015.6 [5655kB]

.... etc


So, it does work.

Mark
