Maybe you can try that, I think that's responsible for asking about
your password.
/usr/bin/synaptic-pkexec is a shell script which runs
/usr/sbin/synaptic as root, using the pkexec program. I don't know
anything about pkexec, but it looks like it's a substitute for sudo in
cases like this.

posted a couple times, the requester goes away and it does not run.
