And there is no technical reasons to ask for password before displaying so I think we should ask it only for important reason ( ie, really update ). This would be consistent with others os ( os x ask the password only we choose to update, so does Fedora/packagekit and Ubuntu/apt-daemon ).
As urpmi is currently written, that would mean running urpmq --auto-select, as the regular user, and then, if the update is wanted (which should be most of the time), running (as root) the urpmi --auto-select. On an older system like mine, that can waste quite a bit of time, and would be an annoyance. Regards, Dave Hodgins
