Title:
  update-manager crashed with AuthorizationFailed in commit()

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Authorisation was not requested. Just started the update manager gui.
  It listed 38 available updates for Maverick. Clicking on "Install
  Updates" normally the popup requests the root password. Instead, it
  resulted in it to "Building data structure" and the Error Message
  "Sorry, Update Manager closed unexpectetly" . The process is repeated
  every time even after restart.

  Using Maverick Alpha3 (I believe)
