Update refused install of google-chrome-stable (untrusted)

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

Details:
google-chrome-stable

Here's the description of changes:

Changes for the versions:
Installed version: 27.0.1453.93-r200836
Available version: 27.0.1453.110-r202711

This update does not come from a source that supports changelogs.

Normal update

The update was part of today/yesterday security update, as this morning, the alert box was displayed on screen.
After discovering the prob with chrome, I checked the list; found and unticked the update for chrome.
This allowed all the other updates to install.
However, I'm left with Chrome awaiting installation.

Does anybody know what went wrong...... and how do i get around it?

Run

Code:

wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get update

and it should now be authenticated.

Thanks Oldos2er

I copied and pasted line 1 to terminal

Code:

wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

I entered my password before entering line 2:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Terminal indicated the download done.

I rebooted, and discovered updates available, including google-chrome-stable
Clicking on install began the download (after entering my password).
No problems occurred.

I'm just wondering....
.... does ubuntu clean up its old files (made redundant thru updates)?

This has been quite a big download at 95Mb...... and we get updates every week.
Should I be doing some housekeeping?

To clear the cache of downloaded packages, you can delete them with

Code:

sudo apt-get clean

Thanks oldos2er.

I entered in terminal, the code:

Code:

sudo apt-get clean

After entering my password, NO feedback occurred.
Terminal re-set to the prompt.

Perhaps the delete action occurred, without feedback being provided.

If that is the case then fine - DOS never used to provide feedback
