For future reference, the exception is raised here, in the code:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/software-
properties/main/view/head:/softwareproperties/dbus/SoftwarePropertiesDBus.py#L356
The last line of this block:
if not is_auth:
logging.debug('_check_polkit_privilege: sender %s on connection
%s pid %i is not authorized for %s: %s' %
(sender, conn, pid, privilege, str(details)))
self.AuthFailed()
raise PermissionDeniedByPolicy(privilege)
I don't know enough about python error handling, right now. I tried
just commenting out the "raise" line, but that did not seem to be
enough. The behaviour didn't seem to change at all, though, so perhaps
I got the whole thing wrong.
Anyone here very familiar with to handling python exceptions quietly?
This could be a very easy fix for someone with experience.
