Bug Description

What happened:
I have packages from an untrusted/unauthenticated repository installed.
On Login, update manager popped up and displayed a list of available updates.
I clicked "Install Updates"
I the dialogue shown in the attachment was displayed

What I expected:
I click a button that says "That's OK, installed untrusted packages" (as you can in the CLI)
Updates are installed

What happens instead:
The only option is "close"
When "close" is clicked, no updates are installed.
