retitle 705693 apper: Asks for password for wrong user severity 705693 normal thanks
OK, I finally figured out, from looking in /var/log/auth.log, that for some reason it was actually asking for the password for my "buildd" account. Once I entered that password, the system upgrade worked fine. I have no idea why it would be asking for that password, though. The buildd user is actually a pseudo-account that I never log into directly, and the various times I tried it, I was actually logged in as either "daniel" for personal stuff or "snt" for work-related stuff. Feel free to reassign to the appropriate package if, for example, apper is just passing along a request from policykit. -- Daniel Schepler
