in the GNOME apt updaye manager:

this happened on 2 different machines when updating in ubuntu 17.10 daily 
install
one was:
HP Pavillion G series 4 gb ram Intel® Pentium(R) CPU P6300 @ 2.27GHz × 2
gnome 3.26.0 (desktop)
Ubuntu 17.10 due in October is nicknamed the “Artful Aardvark
the other laptop is:
Asus model X541SA 4gb ram Intell Pentium cpu N3710 1.60ghz x 4

after update I tried to do su in the GNOME Terminal (3.24.2) to run a 
filemanager
 as root and got a message :
 
"marcia@marcia-HP-Pavilion-g7-Notebook-PC:~$ su
Password:
su: Authentication failure"

got the same Authentication failure message after the update today
9/15/20017.

sudo works fine.
sudo worked fine before the update on both machines. I am going to get todays 
daily build nd reinstall Ubuntu 17.10 daily and see if it still has this 
problem.
