Bug Description

update-manager=1:0.145.10

Same AuthorizationFailed, but seemingly different tracebacks to bug #618453 and bug #618569.

  sladen@machine:~$ update-manager
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/defer/__init__.py", line 472, in _inline_callbacks
      result = gen.throw(result.type, result.value, result.traceback)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/gtkwidgets.py", line 633, in _run
      yield self._transaction.run()
  aptdaemon.errors.AuthorizationFailed: org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.Error.Failed: ('system-bus-name', {'name': ':1.635'}): org.debian.apt.update-cache

(update-manager hangs indefinitely with twiddling mouse pointer and disabled widgets).
