Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: software-center
Yesterday apt decided that universe was untrusted for some reason, trying to
install something in software-center in a such case lead to have a synaptic
dialog with a textview widget listing "untrusted binaries that need to be
installed" and an "ok" button.
Clicking on "ok" send the user back to software-center interface with a failed
installation and no explanation about the issue.
Could software-center trigger a package index update in such cases (in
the current case the issue was solved with an apt-get update) or inform
the user in a nice way about the issue?
