A nit on apper

I recently attempted to update my system using apper. It gave me the
list of rpms, I said Apply, it started working, then it popped up a
message about some packages not being signed and did I want to proceed.
However it didn't say *which* packages.
How is the user supposed to make an intelligent decision in this
situation?
I just killed apper and used yum, which my usual procedure.
Interestingly, yum had no complaints about unsigned packages and
everything worked.
So to summarize: apper's behaviour in this case recalls the aprocryphal
IBM mainframe message "Wrong Error".
Or to summarize the summary: WTF?
