Do you also get this error when using apt-get?

Do these repositories implement secure apt (see apt-secure(8))?
Otherwise, if they are explicitly trusted you should indicate this
like so:

deb [trusted=yes] http://flora-e/debian ./
deb [trusted=yes] http://montevideo.homedns.org/debian ./

You mentioned that you get this error intermittently.  The policy
information you submitted for libreoffice-lightproof-en indicates an
official server, so it is unlikely that is the culprit. Can you
identify a single package or server that triggers it?

Next time this occurs, cancel the installation and try to find the
smallest set of packages that triggers the warning.  One of those
packages will be from the untrusted source and this will help identify
the problem.  You can then use ‘apt-cache policy PKG1 …’ to identify
the sources being used.
