Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
This appears to be an intermittent issue and I cannot seem to reliably
reproduce it. However...
Upon attempting to install available updates and authenticating via the
update-manager password dialogue, the password will be re-requested
repeatedly, despite Gnome panel indicating elevated privileges for the
application have been granted. The installation will not start unless
update-manager is terminated and restarted. A restart of update-manager
seems to correct the issue in all previously observed cases.
I have not noticed this issue recently (within the last 2 days), and
therefore it may no longer be a problem. However an abundance of
caution led me to file this bug report anyway.
