Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
This is sporadic - A clutzy workaround that I found is to always click
'Settings' first which does bring up the password dialog. However I
deliberately avoided the workaround so as to send the bug report with
system info when it is actually happening.
Very inconvenient and discouraging for Linux newbie.
