Package: apper
Version: 0.9.1-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I was trying to install a package (this also is effected when trying to do
updates).
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I selected a package to install.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Apper goes through the process of finding the package dependencies and then
fails because it says I didn't provide a password. I was never prompted to
authenticate.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I would be asked for a password and the package would install.
