Update Manager & SeaMonkey

[Rebecca_D]

I use and have used Mozilla SeaMonkey for many years and when I came over to Ubuntu I installed it from the start.

Today the update manager tells me, among other things, that there is a new version available for download under 'Other Updates (Daniel Folkinshteyn)'. Details of this package tell me:

This is the unmodified Mozilla release binary of Seamonkey, packaged into a .deb by the Ubuntuzilla project.
It is strongly recommended that you back up your application profile data before installing, just in case. We really mean it!
Ubuntuzilla project homepage: http://ubuntuzilla.sourceforge.net/
Mozilla project homepage: http://www.mozilla.com

I have no reason to doubt that this is an official release, but when I try to install it I get a warning that:

Requires installation of untrusted packages
The action would require the installation of packages from unauthenticated sources

There is just a close button on this popup which when clicked just returns me to the update manager list and does not install. Previous to this problem I had followed the instructions for Ubunuzilla at http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...itle=Main_Page which had resulted in daily popups telling me that there was a new version but failing to download. This is the first time Seamonkey has appeared in the update manager.

I am very frustrated by this as I am keen to update, so please no suggestions of using Firefox!!!

Thank you.

Might be best to go from SeaMonkey's project sight: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/

And follow their installation guide for Linux

Thanks for your quick reply BBQDave however.....

A very strange thing happened. When this problem arose there were a total of 36 packages to update. Having encountered the problem I mentioned I decided to un-tick Seamonkey and install the rest. That was OK and just left SM on the list.

Having put out a plea for help here I went back to the Update Manager to find another 16 updates waiting including SM. This time when I clicked install everything went smoothly and I now have the latest version of SM installed. Don't know quite what went on there but I'm one happy bunny.

Thanks again.
