Update manager offers a dialogue box explaining the the packages cannot
be authenticated, it offers one button "OK".  When you press it it
terminates and rolls back the changes.

Clearly the update manager people at Canonical refuse to accept that any
package be allowed not to be authenticated.  Bit of a bugger for the PPA
people at Canonical I think.

In the end I had to remove all of bzr to get it to upgrade. :-(((
