*** This bug is a security vulnerability *** Public security bug reported:
Installed using full-disk partitioning using Precise Pangolin Xubuntu alternate-amd64.iso image. After installation, I choose Menu -> system -> Update-manager, clicked check, found 46 updates to be installed. Clicking on install results in an authentication request for admin password. clicking the update-manager icon in the notification area and clicking on "Install Updates" does not require the password be entered. This inconsistency is confusing for all users.
