Title:
  The authentication system gets stuck on ubuntu software center

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  Translation From spanish
  ------------------------------------

  Hello

  I want to inform you of a bug I've found in the 64-bit version of
  Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop; I've have been told by Question # 141517 that in
  32-bit version also occurs.

  The system is newly installed and fully updated as of today. And I
  have carried out various activities in the Applications-> Software
  Center Ubuntu (install and uninstall software).

  This application (software center) asks for "sudo" authentication; but
  after inserting the password the window that asked for credentials
  remains in foreground ignoring the options Cancel and authenticate.

  It turns out that the key icon is active, indicating that there is a
  program using elevated privileges, but until you *manually close* the
  Authenticate window does not begin the installation or removal
  operation, as is usually self-sealing after inserting the password and
  begin automatic procedures for the installation or removal.

  Hola:

  Os informo de un error que he encontrado ha sido en el sistema Ubuntu
  10.10 64 bits, y me han informado a través de Question #141517 que en
  la versión 32 bits también ocurre.

  El sistema está recien instalado y totalmente actualizado a fecha de
  hoy. Y he realizado varias acciones en el Aplicaciones->Centro de
  Software de Ubuntu de instalación y desinstalación de software.

  Dicha aplicación te pide la autenticación para poder realizar cambios
  con privilegios superiores al del usuario, pero una vez insertada la
  contraseña se queda activa la ventana que da las opciones de Cancelar
  y autenticar. Resulta que el icono de llave se activa, indicando que
  hay algún programa utilizando altos privilegios, pero hasta que no
  cierro manualmente la ventana de Autenticar, no comienza la operación
  de instalación o desinstalación, cuando habitualmente se autocierra
  una vez insertada la contraseña y comienzan de forma automática los
  procedimientos necesarios para la instalación o desinstalación.
