[Felix Oxley]

Yes. (Note that at each password request I simply pressed the enter
key.)

Title:
  Random Software Updates request password for encrypted partition

Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have an encrypted partition (luks / cryptsetup)  on my drive which
  is mounted manually when required and only contains documents.

  Regularly, when Software Updater is run and updates are installed the
  update process will stall, and if the command line window is expanded
  I can see that one of the updates is requesting that I enter the
  password to mount the encrypted partition.

  THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE PARTITION TO BE REQUIRED

  Today, the application which did this was CUPS (Please see attachment) however on previous occasions it has been other updates.
  Today, I did not enter the password was request twice by the package but I did not enter the password, I just pressed enter and the package seems to have installed successfully.

  I will update this bug in the future with other applications which
  cause this issue.

  Thanks
