Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: software-center
I was using software-center to install GnuCash on my lucid installation.
With 18-hour-old package lists, I was greeted 3% in (past "loading
software list", IIRC) with a dialog informing me a number of untrusted
packages would need to be installed. The only choice was "OK". Once
clicking "OK" I could then cancel the installation.
There were no options to update the software ilst, nor any hints that
updating the software list was the right thing to do. This seems like
it would be a *very* scary dialog.
I used update-manager to update the package lists (and installed some
updates while I was at it), and GnuCash now installs successfully.
