Since this bug was reported, update-manager has switched from using gksu
to using PolicyKit. So if this bug still exists, it is a bug in
PolicyKit.

Title:
  Update Manager does not display fingerprint authentication dialog

Status in “policykit-1” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  I have an HP Compaq 6710b laptop, which has an integrated Authentec
  fingerprint reader. I have set up libpam-fprint to do the
  authentication, and it works ok for logins, sudo and most
  applications. However, update-manager does not display any window to
  prompt for the fingerprint. The fingerprint still works however there
  is no visual indication that the user should supply the fingerprint.
  The update manager window seems to "hang" instead. Other "privileged"
  applications show a prompt window.
