Public bug reported:
I have multiple users on my Ubuntu machine.
When another user than me uses its account, and then I switch back to mine, I
get a prompt :Authentication needed to refresh the system repositories
at this point my password (I am admin/sudo) is always rejected.
if I cancel it asks again for authentication.
Nothing is accesible while this prompt is present.
I've noticed that a workaround is to cancel multiple times (sometimes 2,
sometimes +50 !), the system becomes progressively available.
This was already present in my previous releases (19.04 / 18/10, ...)
