Still here in 10.10. Update manager shows error but Synaptic didn't.

@Danil Ilinykh: Could you please describe how did you get the error message to show with Update Manager? bug #689180 is exactly about update-manager not reporting authentication failure, and I have successfully reproduced it on Maverick, only a few days before the Natty release.

I'm marking this bug as a duplicate of bug #773284, as that one contains the apport information requried (package version of gksu, etc).
