Public bug reported:
1. System->Administration->Upgrade Manager
2. Click "Upgrade" next to "New distribution release '7.10' is available"
3. Click "Upgrade"
4. Observe "Enter your password to perform administrative tasks" prompt. It
says, "The application '/tmp/tmpXf8_U1/gutsy' lets you modify essential parts
of your system". In general, it's probably bad practice to get users in the
habit of giving root privileges to random files in /tmp.
** Affects: ubuntu
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
