I don't know if this will help debugging this any, but apt-get requires

Has anyone else noticed this? I wouldn't mind forcing it to request
root's password, but there are no apparent options to adjust the
security settings from within the application itself. Might this be an
issue to do with membership on specific groups perhaps?
Thanks for any ideas.
I rather think the root password has been stored by the gnome password
manager, but I wouldn't know where to look, never used it.

That would make sense, and as life would have it, apparently the issue
as far as I can determine.
Rebooting the machine and logging back into Xfce4, I tested it by
calling synaptic and it immediately defaulted to requesting the root
passwd. The "remember passwd" button was checked though - so that's
more than likely what the issue was, although in my own defence I would
not ordinarily set that, so don't know why I would've done this now.
Only pays to be more attentive I guess. I'm going to assume pebkac
unless it happens again.
Cheers
