Title:
  update manager does not install updates

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-notifier

  1. let update-notifier start update manager
  2. review info on update manager
  3. click install

  what happens:
  nothing.

  what should happens:
  a password dialog on behalf of update manager so it can install the updates.

  ps aux | grep update
  gcb       2288  0.1  0.5  33632 10976 ?        S    00:57   0:00 update-notifier --startup-delay=60
  gcb       2911  5.3  1.9  76732 40988 ?        SN   00:58   0:05 /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/update-manager --no-focus-on-map

  If i manually start update manager, everything works alright. Even if
  i start it with the "--no-focus-on-map" arg that update-notifier uses.
