[Bug 705988] Re: [master] Untrusted packages can not be installed

[Michael X]

As hard as I try, I just cannot reproduce it anymore, and I can't find the specific bit of code causing it. 
So, here it goes, back to the community :(

Title:
  [master] Untrusted packages can not be installed

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  This is the master bug report for software-center not being able to
  install untrusted packages.

  The precise error message can be seen in the screenshot attached and is as follows:
  "Requires installation of untrusted packages
  The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources."

  The error dialog only has an 'ok' button which aborts the installation
  and has no option to trust the source.

  2. Go to Ubuntu Software Centre > Edit > Software Sources, Download
  from: Change to Main Server or try a different server.

  3. Go to Ubuntu Software Centre > Edit > Software Sources, open the
  second tab "Other Software" and uncheck the Canonical Partners (Source
  Code)
