On trying again, got "Requires installation of untrusted packages

The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources."

The problem is resolved.
the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package used to confirm for EULA but enter button was not being accepted. I pressed Esc key, then a windo for yes or no appeared and I have pressed YEs and the fonts were downloaded and got installed. The problem is resolved.
