That usually means that you are trying to upgrade packages that don't have an accompanying key to make sure they are authentic, probably from an PPA. It is also possible, but less likely, that someone is trying to get you to install foreign packages. If you know what PPA or other repository it is, you can simply install it's key to make the problem go away. If you know everything it kosher you can also just tell it to ignore the problem and carry on.

The bigger problem that I see is why your system is holding back 6-9 packages. Unless you told it to only get a couple of packages that tells me that you have something horribly broken, dependency wise, on your system.

Please see this link for the latest headache:

Given this kind of *Warning* how can one have
confidence to proceed?  Or, how can one protect
against yet another catastrophe?

Yes, I know, make backups ... but is it not
ridiculous to be faced with this kind of warning
that what one is told one is supposed to do is
fraught with such hazards?
