More "update" problems ...

[Brian Cluff]

That usually means that you are trying to upgrade packages that don't 
have an accompanying key to make sure they are authentic, probably from 
an PPA.  It is also possible, but less likely, that someone is trying to 
get you to install foreign packages.  If you know what PPA or other 
repository it is, you can simply install it's key to make the problem go 
away.  If you know everything it kosher you can also just tell it to 
ignore the problem and carry on.

The bigger problem that I see is why your system is holding back 6-9 
packages.  Unless you told it to only get a couple of packages that 
tells me that you have something horribly broken, dependency wise, on 
your system.
