Update-manager running as a background task will not ask for password, so why
asking at manual refresh?
Update manager should ask for password ONLY on update install, and not by
checking for updates!
** This
Correct behavior.
** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected

Yes. It makes absolute sense to require root privileges to update the
packages. If it didn't, then someone could simply replace your repos
with repos filled with trojans, update, and the next time you installed
a package, you would actually be installing a rootkit. Read up on apt.

Good point, hadn't thought about that. But then, does it make sense
having to go root to update the package list?

I think this should be rejected. To see if there are any updates, you
must update the list of packages, which requires sudo privileges.
