Title:
Inconsistent authentication request (still)
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
This is a follow-up from bug 814331
Related packages may be aptdaemon and policykit.
#1
From terminal: update package list (close update-manager when it pops up) and upgrade packages.
When upgrade via terminal is finished update-manager pops up again. Click on install displays authentication dialog.
(Between preparation of screenshot and video 'restart' was displayed.)
#2
After a while update packages list again via terminal. Update-manager pops up, click install - no authentication request.
Expected.
Although switching between terminal and update-manger authentication request should be consistent, either requesting authentication or not. Otherwise it's confusing the user that there might be a lack of security when there is a random authentication request.
