Title:
  "this requires installation of untrusted packages": incomplete
  warning, then "OK" button does nothing

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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)
