Depends on what you mean by "fix that".  The message you are now getting is 
that the signature matches the key in your key ring, but because that key 
isn't signed, gpg presumes that you don't know whether the signer really is 
the person he or she purports to be.  

For instance, we have never met.  As far as I know, we don't have any 
acquaintances who know each other, thereby linking us.  So, using my key, you 
know this message is from someone who has consistently identified himself as 
Art Alexion.  What you don't know is whether I really am Art Alexion.

You  may want to google "web of trust" and "signing parties" to learn more.
