You didn't relay what package manager you are using my old friend. That sounds like something aptitude would do. I've had 2 systems totally destroyed by it now, the last one because it assumed an automatic yes that I didn't give it. So I don't trust anything but synaptic-pkexec to do the right thing anymore. The pkexec means you run it as yourself, and it will ask you for your passwd to get its root privs, after it checks to see if you are in the sudoers file.
