Same problem in 12.04 LTS: cannot install updates from an unsigned repository.

"apt-get upgrade" prompts, and lets the user decide whether to install or not:

    WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
         unsigned-package1 package2 etc.
    Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y

Update-manager should have a similar behaviour:

- Either give the option to upgrade the package(s) without verifictaion

- Or upgrade the other (authenticated) packages, and tell the user that the unauthenticated package(s) should be upgraded by running "apt-get upgrade" at the command-line.
