[Bug 1000903] Re: Update Manager does not prompt for administrator password

[Chad Miller]

This is new, intentional behavior, I am almost certain.  Updates to
packages that are already approved by the sysadmin are not a security
risk.  Something like that.

** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

  Update Manager does not prompt for administrator password

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  The Update Manager window automatically opened for the latest set of
  weekly updates.  When the Install Updates button was pressed,
  installation proceeded without first prompting for the administrator
  password.
