[Bug 874771] [NEW] software center doesn't asks for password, and thus it can't install or remove programs

[JoLiSh]

Public bug reported:

I just upgraded distro from Natty to Oneiric. Now I can't install programs using the Software Center. The "Install" button does nothing.
However, if I run 'sudo software-center', then it works properly.
