It isn't an error, just a security notice. Answer "yes" to the "do you want to trust this key" question and all will be well. If you're paranoid you can cross-check the key's fingerprint with the person who released the key (Pascal Bleser) before answering yes.
Welllll...that's what I thought also. But when I answer "yes" the upgrade aborts. That was in the gui. I then tried "upgrade from the command line and it also errored out complaining about the public key.
