[Bug 1591672] Re: update-manager does not obey require-password policy

[Julian Andres Klode]

aptdaemon does not seem to check policykit or something, I created the
file and could still upgrade with aptdcon --upgrade

** Package changed: update-manager (Ubuntu) => aptdaemon (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: aptdaemon (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged

Title:
  update-manager does not obey require-password policy

Status in aptdaemon package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In order to enforce password check prior an update to occur, policy
  file was installed.

  /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/require-password-to-update.pkla
  [Require password to upgrade already installed software]
  Identity=unix-group:admin
  Action=org.debian.apt.upgrade-packages
  ResultActive=auth_admin

  
  Up to a recent update this was working as expected. No anymore.

  What happens
  ------------
  Updates are performed without requesting administrative password

  Expected result
  ---------------
  update-manager to request administrative password prior performing the update
