The problem seems to be that action "org.debian.apt.update-cache", contained in file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.debian.apt.policy, now has all the "allow"s set to "auth_admin[_keep]" instead of "yes". Changing these by hand brings back passwordless checking of repositories. This .policy file is provided by package aptdaemon.
I'm still wondering, though -- shouldn't polkit-gnome-authorization display all the entries in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions in addition to the ones in /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy? -- Update manager now requires two authentications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/448810 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
