A call for final comments. Thank you all for your help. Especially thank you Habitual for being on topic and giving a direct answer to the title question. A second topic has appeared here: how to safely and automatically install packages.
To Shadow_7, Senior Member.
I removed packages ats-lang-anairiats ats-lang-anairiats-examples. I ran this.
Code:
sudo apt-get -y install ats-lang-anairiats ats-lang-anairiats-examples
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
ats-lang-anairiats ats-lang-anairiats-examples
E: There are problems and -y was used without --force-yes
Code:
sudo apt-get --force-yes install ats-lang-anairiats ats-lang-anairiats-examples
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
ats-lang-anairiats ats-lang-anairiats-examples
Install these packages without verification? [y/N]
Code:
sudo apt-get -y --force-yes install ats-lang-anairiats ats-lang-anairiats-examples
This installs the packages, and displays a warning. Documentation says it is dangerous.
Code:
apt-get install --allow-unauthenticated -y ats-lang-anairiats ats-lang-anairiats-examples
This installs the packages. The linux community says it is not secure.
I have done some research on keyring, but I did not understand it, it seems to require internet. If it is easy to do, I would like instructions how to set it up on my system, without requiring internet. My current method works without it. I like my work to require minimal system setup, like no sudo. But if a diffrent style makes people happy, I will consider changing.
It might be nice for me to learn the ats language sometime, but for now I an simply trying to compile it. If I can not compile it, there is no sense of me learning the language. I am happy to consider example script writen in ADA or any other language, if it can be compiled using debian software.

My debian software repository comes from dvd, and I store it in /mnt. To upgrade, I get another dvd set. I only use one machine, and I like to keep my repository isolated from the internet. Sometimes I download a package and manually install it. But I never let the internet automatically adjust my system.
To Habitual, LQ Addict.
I would like this bash file
http://pdscript.com/p/debian/example/bash/install.txt to run from start to end, without pausing for user input. This is what I am trying to automate.
I removed packages ats-lang-anairiats ats-lang-anairiats-examples. I ran this.
Code:
sudo apt-get -yqq install ats-lang-anairiats ats-lang-anairiats-examples

While installing the package pbuilder, This message displayed.

Maybe my mirror is /mnt?
To do.
Users pedros and Habitual have both attempted to compile file AUP_5_17_3.dats. The file does not work, and so I think it should be removed from the debian repository. Will someone volunteer to submit a bug report on this file? Also there are many other bad files that I have identified. But do not remove the whole package, just the bad parts.
There is a rumor that the file works with ubuntu. If someone would like to pursue this, you can discuss this in ubuntu forum. But I have no intrest.
I was chided for "--allow-unauthenticated -y". But I have not been given a better method. So I might add an alternate install file that requires user to respond to many prompts.
I read DontBreakDebian. Thank you, it said to ask smart questions.
I am waiting for final comments. Then I plan to tag this as solved.
