Xubuntu base requires installation of untrusted packages from unauthenticated sources
Software updater today wanted to install a handful of updates under the title "Xubuntu base". I told it to go ahead. It then gave the following message: "Software Updateer Requires Installation of untrusted packages. This requires installation of untrusted packages from unauthenticated sources." This suggested to me that I did not want to go ahead with the installation. But the message window only allowed me to press <OK>. This suggests a couple of potential errors: - Software updater possibly using untrusted sources for standard packages? - Software updater failing to inform user which packages are using untrusted sources, nor giving option for user to change offending source, or deselect offending package I clicked OK. But it would not go ahead with the install. That is actually a relief - most reassuring that Ubuntu has got my back. But it could do a little more here: it can tell me which update and which source is causing the problem and allow me to deselect it or follow some other necessary course of action. The following packages were in the update list: Gobject-based wrapper library for libudev Libgudev-1.0 introspection data Libudev shared library Systemd runtime services Systemd utility library -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/705988 Title: [master] Untrusted packages can not be installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/705988/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
