So, I've waited a long time to post this as I figured some one else might and that would help me avoid being embarrassed... ](*,)

Anyway, here's the problem.

Update Manager has a new version of debhelper available: 7.4.3~bop50~1
This will replace my current 7.3.15ubuntu3

All seems reasonable so far, so I click install.

This is when I get the following message:


Warning

You are about to install software that can't be authenticated.
Doing this could allow a malicious individual to damage or take control of your system.

Then it has:
NOT AUTHENTICATED
debhelper

Any clues why I might be getting this message? (I assume that it is a genuine upgrade, but I haven't been game to install it yet because of the M$-like warning above!)

I guess I just want some reassurance that I'm not the only one getting this upgrade... :D

In case it is useful:

Software Sources:
Ubuntu:

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Disclaimer:
I've been using ubuntu for almost 12 months and have been using it as my main OS since 9.10. However, I have almost 0 previous linux experience and I'm still very much a newbie.;)
