I don't know if it is the right place to say it, but I think the way update-manager works is very unintuitive to new users.

Say I have a 100 updates to install and one of them is not trusted. When I click install it will display error message and close. To install updates you need to find the untrusted package on the list and uncheck it. Installer should ask if you wan't to install untrusted packages or at least uncheck them automaticly. It is very difficult to new users to know how to do it themselfs.

Thanks for that. I did that. The only problem is that it was all of the
packages listed that it didn't trust. I had tried a restart and a
shutdown but to no avail.I turned the computer off for the night and the
next day it allowed all the updates.
Thanks again for your response
