Title:
Authentication fails during password expiry warning period
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I have password aging enabled, and am within the password expiry
warning period. When I try to install software, I'm prompted for my
password. When I enter my password, I see a "Your password will expire
in 4 days" message, and get re-prompted, until authentication fails,
and I can't install the software. My password should be valid for this
purpose even with the expiry warning.
My system is:
