Update manager stops and says installation packages are not authenticated

Asked By Sean A Fulton 30 points N/A Posted on - 01/07/2014

Hai all,

I am in process of running the update manager, in the middle I got an error message stating installation packages from sources that are not authenticated. This means I should not continue with update? But this error is appears again and again. I do continue with the update it will crash the system? Help me to solve this error.

Title: Requires installation of untrusted packages.

Requires installation of untrusted packages

The action would require the installation of packages from sources that are not authenticated.
