Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
In the Update Manager (update-manager package version 1:0.142.22 on
Maverick amd64), clicking the "Settings..." button raises a gksu dialog
if authentication is needed. But if the wrong password is entered, no
error is reported, and no action is taken. If the user does not realize
that s/he entered the wrong password, the user would likely assume that
some other unknown problem was preventing the Software Sources window
from coming up.
