    Exclamation Can't Authenticate Important Packages

    I'm running Lucid Lynx. When I go into synaptic package manager and try to take updates, it says it can't authenticate some of the packages, including for example linux-image 2.6.32-27-generic. What is up with this?

    after that, does it still say 'can't authenticate'?
