I'm running Hardy, and I also have bzr installed from a PPA.

Software Update recently prompted me to do a partial distribution upgrade.

Because of bug 125103, packages from PPAs are not signed. So I get this error:

Within the GUI, there's no way to proceed. It would be nice to either allow me to continue and install the packages without checking their signatures, or do the upgrade for everything but the unsigned packages.

I realize this is arguably an edge case and we don't want to encourage unsigned installations.
