I'm getting an error message when using "Software Updater"

I am presented with a long list of updates. I click "Install Now", type in my password when asked to authenticate, and then get a message that says, "Requires installation of untrusted packages. This requires installing packages from unauthenticated sources." I have two options, "Settings..." and "Okay". When I click "OK" the window closes and nothing else happens. When I click "Settings...", there's no obvious thing to change. It doesn't tell me which packages are from untrusted sources, so I can't skip those packages, or tell it to go ahead and install them anyway.

I tried the solution found at:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/635037/software-updater-warning-requires-installation-of-untrusted-packages?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa

It let the "Software Updater" process run most of the way, but then said, "Package operation failed. The installation or removal of a software package failed." And again the options are "Settings" and "OK" but no indication of which package raised the complaint. I clicked on "Settings" and clicked through each of the tabs. When I closed that window the "Software Updater" window returned with the same long list. I clicked "Install Now", authenticated it, and it failed again.

Any recommendations on how to figure out which package is causing the problem?

Thanks.
