Marc this is a deviation from 11.04 where even though I am the
administrator, explicit permission is requested to perform updates.

I always assumed that I log on as me, however the OS would not allow updates 
without explicit permission being given.  This is true for synaptic, and the 
Software Centre and the Software Sources applications, and (I assume) if I was 
to do the same in a terminal session.
Update manager therefore seems inconsistent and less safe. 

If this is the desired process, at least the help information should be
updated.
