[Bug 1001980] Re: no prompt for password when upgrading packages

[Book 'em Dano]

This is a video of update-manager displaying the new updates that are
available.  Once I click Install, update-manager does not prompt for my
password and proceeds to download and install the updates.

Title:
  no prompt for password when upgrading packages

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

Bug description:
  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.
