[Bug 1001980] [NEW] no prompt for password when upgrading packages

[Book 'em Dano]

Public bug reported:

A daemon works in the background to update the list of available and
upgradeable packages, then update-manager pops up and displays which
packages have upgrades available.  When I click on the "Install Updates"
button, update-manager proceeds to download and install the upgrades but
before doing so, no window pops up to ask for a user's password before
installing the packages.  In previous releases, a window would pop up
and prompt for the user's password before downloading and installing
upgrades.
