Software Updater issue in Ubuntu


Hello!

I use Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop Edition. I installed Unity Tweak Tool. Now I see Software Updater's message that it must be updated.
It's all nice, BUT... Then I get a message that it requires installation of untrusted packages from unauthenticated sources.
What's going on here?

Can you post the complete message?

If the Software Update doesn't let you copy the text, you could try (from a terminal window):

Code:
sudo apt-get -s upgrade

Thanks for a quick reply!

It gets stranger by the minute. I'd initiated Software Updater, but it just found "Ubuntu base" updates and successfully installed them.
No mention of Unity Tweak tool. See, before that I didn't initiate the update. It'd started by itself. So... I don't know.

maybe the tweak tool itself decided that it wants an update?

Who knows... Maybe. But as long as it's not asking again, I would consider the issue resolved.
