Bug Description

(from https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/software-boutique-failing-to-install-etcher/15918)

In the Software Boutique, I tried to install Etcher, but the installation fails. The Boutique shows "Installing: Etcher". I get a popup dialog which says "Requires installation of untrusted packages: This requires installing packages from unauthenticated sources", and then Etcher fails to install.
Versions: UM 16.04 and Boutique 17.10.15~xenial1.1.

apt shows essentially the same error that the Boutique does:

WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
  etcher-electron
Install these packages without verification? [y/N]
So perhaps the Boutique hasn't correctly got the signing key from whichever PPA it uses?
