Ubuntu - Requires installation of untrusted packages

"Requires installation of untrusted packages
The action would require the installation of packages not from authenticated sources."


If you get the above message while trying to install an application through Ubuntu Software Center (on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx) try the following to fix it:

Go to System>Administrator>Software Sources, open the second tab "Other Software" and click the http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu partner (Source Code)


Plz comment if it doesn't work.

Thanks a lot for info.

P.S. Well, what a damn knowledge a user must have to figure this out. This is quite annoying.
