I have got a bad feeling about using the authentication dialog as a
confirmation dialog. If the system is configured to allow all package
operations to an user automatically you won't get any confirmation at
all. The operation would just start.

The broken cache is really a nasty problem that needs to be fixed before
you can continue installing/removing any other software. So a small icon
is not very discoverable. Why don't you show an in-app-notifcation below
the toolbar with a small text and a button "Repair system".
