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.
