I'm trying to install the most stable, boring version of GIMP available, without adding special repositories. I'm assuming the correct way to do this is sudo apt install gimp. Unfortunately, I'm getting the following warning:

WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
  libbabl-0.1-0 libsdl1.2debian libamd2.4.1 libcamd2.4.1 libccolamd2.9.1
  libcholmod3.0.6 libumfpack5.7.1 libgegl-0.3-0

Should this be happening? I tried running

sudo apt-key update
sudo apt-get update

which didn't fix the issue. What should I do?

Edit: Here is the full output of sudo apt install gimp:

I tried a bunch of things, but ultimately what fixed it was:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo apt update
