Try running

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

It will try and update the sources packages to check for available updates that can be updated in your system.

Untrusted packages errors mostly arise due to missing keys , if that is the case then note the missing keys combination of Numbers and Letters and do

sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com XXXXXXXXX

Where XXXXXXXXX is the key from the error you get.

Another reason would be the Mirrors not properly synced , running the Update command mostly solves them.
