Update Manager is bringing up a 'Summary' screen warning that the updates about to be installed "can't be authenticated" The exact warning reads: "You are about to install software that can't be authenticated! Doing this could allow a malicious individual to damage or take control of your system" The packages concerned are; libpcsclite1 (version 1.5.3-1ubuntu4.1) will be upgraded to version 1.5.3-1ubuntu4.2 rsync (version 3.0.7-1ubuntu1) will be upgraded to version 3.0.7-1ubuntu1.1 tzdata (version 2011e-0ubuntu0.10.04) will be upgraded to version 2011g-0ubuntu0.10.04 What's going on here, should I be concerned, any advice is appreciated but the bottom line - is it safe to do the download?
It's probably safe. However... Who knows.I have seen something like this in Debian - it's when they changed/updated the GPG keys for package signing. What I needed to do was manually update the keys first, then update the rest...
This might help, but it's a year or so old.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=369366 Gordon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
