This needed to be dicussed on ubuntu-devel-discuss and changed for all package managers (and sudo whitelist them respectively) to retain similar behavior on all versions of Ubuntu. I am reasonable certain the idea will get dismissed though.
An update action is pretty much the same as install/remove, so what you are suggesting is to allow all admin users to install/remove stuff without first verifying whether the person in front of the computer is actually the person who owns the account. Personally I find that extremely questionable from a security and system integrity perspective. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to libqapt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1346234 Title: Allow running updates without authentication To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libqapt/+bug/1346234/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
