Description Paolo Bonzini 2010-03-12 12:50:37 UTC 
Description of problem:
Whenever software updates are available from a mix of trusted and untrusted sources, there's no way to see which untrusted package I'm going to update.

Even worse, PolicyKit's prompt "The software is not from a trusted source" gives a bad impression when you have a long list of updates, most of them from Red Hat, in which you cannot spot the untrusted package.  It seems like PackageKit is telling you that Red Hat's packages are untrusted.

One simple solution could be to only install trusted packages if any are available, and force the user to run update again to get untrusted packages.
