Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: software-center

Despite being able to install and working flawlessly on my other Ubuntu
(Maverick) desktop PC and laptop, clamtk 4.31 (antivirus) will not
install on another of my Ubuntu PCs.

I wrote to the ClamTK developer back on January 17th 2011, but he was
unsure as to the cause, so I thought it important to document this bug
here:

My only concern with ClamTK at the moment is that the Ubuntu Software
Centre prevents me from completing an install on one of my desktop PCs.

The PC in question

Its configuration (copied from the Ubuntu System Monitor) is as follows:
Ubuntu
Release 10:10 (Maverick)
Kernel Linux 2.6.35-24-generic
GNOME 2.32.0

Hardware
Memory: 1001.7Mib
Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 1.70GHz

System Status
Available disk space: 25.4 GiB

The error that displays

Requires installation of untrusted packages

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

Details

clamtk libbit-vector-perl libcarp-clan-perl libdate-calc-perl libdigest-
hmac-perl libfile-find-rule-perl libnet-dns-perl libnet-ip-perl
libnumber-compare-perl libtext-glob-perl libtommath0

I also followed up with this further information:

I have ClamTK (4.31) installed on two other Ubuntu 10:10 PCs (only one
of which I use often) and one old Toshiba laptop with no issues.

Got a similar warning when trying to install the game xBill on that PC
and this one (3GHz Celeron) which makes me wonder if there is a bug in
the Ubuntu Software Centre itself, offering to install packages that it
decides to not support. Might not be a ClamTK issue at all but an Ubuntu
Software Centre one.

IN CONCLUSION

So there seems to be an "untrusted applications" problem with software
that surely, if it was actually untrusted, should not even present as
available from the Ubuntu Software Centre.

More information on ClamTk, which has proven to be a marvellous
application on those of my Ubuntu-only desktop and laptop PCs, on which
the software centre will allow it to install, can be found at
