This is indeed a bitesize bug but after fixing this bug #874766 becomes
more important: After canceling the authentication dialog you will not
get an error dialog, but the comboboxes on the Updates tab will not
revert to the original (saved) values, thus you will see wrong values.

Title:
  Cancelling PolicyKit authorization produces silly error message

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  software-properties-gtk 0.92.6, Ubuntu Q

  1. Open Software Sources.
  2. Change anything, e.g. check/uncheck any of the checkboxes in the "Ubuntu Software" tab.
  3. In the authorization prompt, choose "Cancel".

  What happens: An error alert appears, "Authorization failed." -
  "Software sources can't be changed without permission."

  What should happen: No error alert appears. You already know that you
  cancelled the authorization.
