"Untrusted packages could compromise your system's security" appears while trying to install anything
I've freshly installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a new computer. I'm trying to install an application that I need onto it (my old computer is broken and I have to send it for service). I've managed to install texlive, but then I can't install anything else. All of the software I want installed is the same software that I had successfully installed on my old computer previously (using the same version of Ubuntu). I don't understand why the terminal gives this warning (sorry, the terminal speaks half English, half Polish, but I hope it's enough):
maria@marysia-ubuntu:~$ sudo aptitude install emacs

WARNING: untrusted versions of the following packages will be installed!
Untrusted packages could compromise your system's security.
You should only proceed with the installation if you are certain that
this is what you want to do.
emacs emacs23-bin-common emacsen-common emacs23-common emacs23
Do you want to ignore this warning and proceed anyway?
To continue, enter "Yes"; to abort, enter "No"
I was trying to install other editors as well, with the same result. As I decided that I might be sure that I know the package I want to install is secure, I finally entered "Yes". The installation ended successfully, but the editor doesn't understand .tex files (and the .tex files themselves are known to be good):
this is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian)

?
What's more, I've realised that in Synaptic Manager there aren't any packages which are marked as supported by Canonical....
Any tips? Thanks in advance.
P.S.

After using update, it's almost fine. I've managed to install 3 applications (texlive, texworks and ekg), and Synaptic shows icons for "supported by Cannonical". But problems with connection persist.
I'm connected to Internet, I can use chat, but sometimes I can't open any web pages. I'm not sure if it this is part of the same problem, or if one is resolved and for the other one I should write a separate post.

Seems changed, but it's the only thing I can understand.
Thanks.
Try updating the database
sudo apt-get update
If you're still seeing warning messages after that, provide the list of your repositories
grep -IRH '^deb ' /etc/apt/
If you've just installed Ubuntu, and not added any repositories, update the package list and upgrade the packages:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
It's recommended to update the system first before installing other packages (at least, after the first install). The contents of the CD could be outdated.
I'm not a 100% sure but it looks like you are missing a bunch of gpg keys. To solve this problem I would install launchpad-getkeys which will import all of the missing keys on your system.
To install launchpad-getkeys you need to first add a ppa - What are ppa's and how do I use them The ppa line is ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
then you can install launchpad-get keys first type this
sudo apt-get update
then this
sudo apt-get install launchpad-getkeys
and finally run with this command
sudo launchpad-getkeys
finally I would run another update after the keys have been imported.
sudo apt-get update
hope this helps
