After performing a clean installation of Kubuntu on my netbook, I decided to do an update, since I hadn't had a network connection during the install. I started up muon-updater, which offered a large number of updates, and clicked "Install Updates". After about a minute, it finally asked me for my password. This is an unreasonable delay.
