[Bug 448810] Re: Update manager now requires two authentications
Right. Update-manager now uses the synaptic backend again since we don't think that aptdaemon can provide the same stability now. But as it will improve things may change in the next release of Ubuntu. The policy change was intended since it is now possible to set the HttpProxy for a cache update. This would result in a leak of usernames and passwords in the sources url, e.g. "deb http://joe:topsec...@mysecureserver.net/ubuntu karmic main". -- Update manager now requires two authentications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/448810 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 448810] Re: Update manager now requires two authentications
Hmm.. The latest update-manager 1:0.126.2 seems to have reverted to using gksudo for authentication - and possibly not using aptdaemon (!?). Can anyone confirm this, or did I mess something up badly?

The relevant bit of /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.debian.apt.policy, as installed by aptdaemon, is: Update package information Authentication is required to query the software repositories for installable packages auth_admin auth_admin auth_admin_keep The above matches the behaviour we have been seeing. Changing "auth_admin" and "auth_admin_keep" to "yes" works as expected, removing the need to authenticate. -- Update manager now requires two authentications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/448810 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Actually the default policy allows every user who sits in front of the computer to update the package cache. Do you run from a VNC/remote session? Aptdaemon uses PolicyKit-1.

[Bug 448810] Re: Update manager now requires two authentications
The problem seems to be that action "org.debian.apt.update-cache", contained in file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.debian.apt.policy, now has all the "allow"s set to "auth_admin[_keep]" instead of "yes". Changing these by hand brings back passwordless checking of repositories. This .policy file is provided by package aptdaemon. I'm still wondering, though -- shouldn't polkit-gnome-authorization display all the entries in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions in addition to the ones in /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy? -- Update manager now requires two authentications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/448810 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm this on two different installations of karmic, and it has been happening for a few days.
