non-authenticated sources

[Leila M]

hi,

while trying to install some software in ubuntu, I sometimes found myself confronted with a warning saying:
"
Requires installation of untrusted packages: The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources."

is there any risk from installing such software although it comes with ubuntu (i.e. it is available in the Ubuntu Software Center, but it is not yet installed)

thanks
Lila

I know that this is a really belated response and that you have probaly already fixed it but if I remeber correctly the command to update the "keys" is something like "sudo apt-key update" I don't think that's it and I'm away from my ubuntu computer right now so just google something along those lines and you will find the command

Top-poster Sam is pretty close.  Check it out by just entering "sudo
apt-key" and the usage message tells you most of what you need to
know.

#############################################
$ sudo apt-key
Usage: apt-key [--keyring file] [command] [arguments]

Manage apt's list of trusted keys

   apt-key add <file>          - add the key contained in <file> ('-'
for stdin)
   apt-key del <keyid>         - remove the key <keyid>
   apt-key export <keyid>      - output the key <keyid>
   apt-key exportall           - output all trusted keys
   apt-key update              - update keys using the keyring package
   apt-key net-update          - update keys using the network
   apt-key list                - list keys
   apt-key finger              - list fingerprints
   apt-key adv                 - pass advanced options to gpg (download key)

If no specific keyring file is given the command applies to all keyring
files.
###############################################

I did "sudo apt-key update" and "sudo apt-key net-update". No improvement.

sudo apt-key list does show the Google key.
