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.
