Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
I'm on a university connection that requires a log in every twelve hours before I may access the internet. When apt-get update is automatically run, it can't download the information, which is fine. Once I'm logged in again, though, and try to install something through the software-store, it tells me that my package is an untrusted source.
I never had this problem with gnome-app-install or synaptic, this has only happened with software-center, so I'm filing the bug against that package. Synaptic/apt-get will warn you that the package sources cannot be authenticated but will still allow you to install. The Software Center/update manager will flat-out refuse to until the sources are updated.
Please see the screenshot for a visual or the video demonstrating the bug process in post 6.

Naturally, the workaround for this is to manually run 'sudo apt-get update'
