The only way out is to check only one update (of the several-dozens
list), install it, and then again with the next one, until you find the
one that is causing the wrning.
Or a few at a time, or half of them in a bisection-search-like fashion.
Totally ridiculous.

Title:
"this requires installation of untrusted packages": incomplete
warning, then "OK" button does nothing
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I run UpdateManager, I click on "Install updates" and I get this error
message (see screenshot):
"This requires installing packages from unauthenticated sources"
I'm SICK of Update Manager's vague error messages that don't provide the most basic information.
WHAT requires installing WHICH packages from WHICH unauthenticated sources, and WHY?
Also, I'm presented with a "Settings" button and an "OK" button.
To me "OK" means "Ok, proceed, I'm happy with it, do the install".
Not. Turns out it means "Ok, so forget about it, do nothing".
The button should be disambiguated. Actually there should be two options (besides "Settings"):
- proceed at your own risk
- cancel (or abort, or whatever)
