I just got the red arrow for the update manager. I was an important security update. When I clicked on the install, I got a warning that the update was not certified. Is this serious? What should I do?
:confused:

I've had this problem recently. I certainly wouldn't install it just in case the repo has been hacked.

In my case it seems to be a bug in Update manager.

I appear to have fixed it with:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

There was an update to Update Manager on 8.04 recently, so far the issue has not come back.

Here is the discussion where I found the apparent fix:
