Title:
  update-manager asks for root password

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  After a standard system upgrade from lucid to maverick, update-manager insists on the root-password instead of the current user's password (who is still a member of admin). The requested action is "org.debian.apt.upgrade-packages".
  update-manager worked fine prior to the upgrade. 
  On a freshly installed maverick system, this problem does not exists, but both my upgraded systems show this behavior.

  The root-cause is probably somewhere in policykit-1, please let me
  know what additional information is needed.
