Update-manager Authenticate window stuck

[bcbc]

Binary package hint: update-manager

Update manager in 10.10 RC up to date, pops up an authenticate window. You enter your password and hit Authenticate and the window just stays there (now without the password option). Clicking on Authenticate or Cancel does nothing. If you close the window (click on X) then the updates are performed.

If you leave the window a long time it eventually goes away (5 minutes?). After that I again clicked on Install Updates - same window pops up prompting for password - this time it works.

The bug is still bugging us. There must be an workaround to install new application.
