Having just done all that, it appears that the install completed in the background - the restart required window appeared, and checking at the command line I can install again.
So it appears that one of the password windows does start the install but doesn't show the window to the user. And the second password entry tries to start the install but finds dpkg already running and so then blocks. It might be relevant that I think this generally press the Check button first, but I do this a lot, and only sometimes do I get the two password boxes and the blocking behaviour. -- [karmic] update-manager sometimes requires entering password twice https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437094 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
