[Bug 2105378] [NEW] Apport requests admin password multiple times

[Marcos Alano]

Public bug reported:

I was using apport-bug and apport-collect, and each one opened a password screen requesting my password four times.
There was one just for dmesg, and other just for acpi tables that apport does the dump.
Maybe we can find a way to be just once but preserve the access to all times the command needs permission.
