Title:
  Software sources requires 'root' password to enable or disable sources

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I open the Software Sources application and try to enable/disable
  some of the repositories (Source Code in my case), it prompts for the
  root password instead of the sudo password. Giving the sudo password
  doesn't work as well.
