[Bug 1164558] Re: Not able to use updater: "You are not allowed to perform this action"

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package update-manager - 1:0.196.10

---------------
update-manager (1:0.196.10) trusty; urgency=low

  * debian/control:
    - add dependencies to the various policykit agents to ensure
      that update-manager is not run without policykit agent support
      in the session (LP: #1164558)
  * tests/test_update_list.py:
    - test improvements from Barry Warsaw (many thanks!)
