[Bug 1302342] [NEW] Ubuntu 1404 b2 - "you don't have priviledges to install updates" and any system modification is refused

[Ian Scott]

Public bug reported:

This is a serious bug as it stops all updates even corrections! It also
stops logging out as this needs priveldges. The only solution is the
power switch! Also, even as a VM, rather than as a native OS, this can
mean host shutdown.

** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
