wajig doesn't always prompt for administrator password

[Paul White]

If I run "wajig install [packagename]" then I am prompted for my administrator password.

If I run "wajig purgeremoved" then I am not prompted for a password. The following error message is always displayed:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/wajig/wajig.py", line 862, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/share/wajig/wajig.py", line 858, in main
    result.func(result)
  File "/usr/share/wajig/commands.py", line 679, in purgeremoved
    root=True, log=True)
  File "/usr/share/wajig/perform.py", line 98, in execute
    util.finish_log(temp)
  File "/usr/share/wajig/util.py", line 501, in finish_log
    lf = open(log_file, "a")
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/paul/.wajig/N7110/Log'

I've also seen this in wajig 2.17 on another PC running Xubuntu 15.04

Marking this bug as incomplete as Ubuntu and wajig versions now very out of date.

Bug 1737852 filed for current versions (apport log files attached)._
