Title:
  update-manager cancels entire update because of one ppa

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I just tried doing an update via update-manager.  It said there were
  435 updated packages for my Precise system.

  However, update-manager refused to update anything because of one
  unauthenticated PPA.

  I have the following PPA info in my sources.list file for Audacity.

  etc/apt/sources.list:#### Audacity - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
  /etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/audacity-team/daily/ubuntu precise main 
  /etc/apt/sources.list:#### Audacity (Source) - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
  /etc/apt/sources.list:deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/audacity-team/daily/ubuntu precise main 

  And because of that single PPA, update-manager refuses to update
  ANYTHING on my precise system.  This has been a problem for longer
  than precise.  If I update via console using apt-get dist-upgrade,
  apt-get gives me the option to accept that the PPA is not
  authenticated, and then proceeds to update my system.

  Since Update Manager is the way users are expected to update their
  systems, having it refuse to update anything because of one PPA
  package is really bad.  It should either match the behaviour of apt-
  get, or it should simply skip that package and provide a message at
  the end saying "Package X was not updated because of reason Y"
