Public bug reported:
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)
