Additionally, the Settings button leads to a Tab in Settings where there's 
nothing related to trusted/untrusted packages.
Ther relevant tab is Authentication, but you have no clue of what you are 
supposed to do there, because 
- the error message didn't tell anything about what are the problematic 
untrusted sources that allegedly are required
- there's no option to "allow untrusted sources" or anything like that, so you 
should magically know which source you would need to add

And most important,  Update Manager should at the very least let you
install ALL OTHER updates except the ones that are causing the issue, so
at least one would be able to isolate them.

Altogether this is designed in the worst conceivable way.
