Comment 0 for bug 1001980

A daemon works in the background to update the list of available and upgradeable packages, then update-manager pops up and displays which packages have upgrades available. When I click on the "Install Updates" button, update-manager proceeds to download and install the upgrades but before doing so, no window pops up to ask for a user's password before installing the packages. In previous releases, a window would pop up and prompt for the user's password before downloading and installing upgrades.
