Public bug reported: 1. Open Update Manager, ideally when there are updates available for install 2. Click Install Updates. 3. A polkit password prompt will appear. Type in the wrong password and hit enter. 4. update-manger freezes and this message shows is run from the terminal: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/defer/__init__.py", line 472, in _inline_callbacks result = gen.throw(result.type, result.value, result.traceback) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/gtk3widgets.py", line 644, in _run yield self._transaction.run() aptdaemon.errors.NotAuthorizedError: org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.Error.NotAuthorized: ('system-bus-name', {'name': ':1.54'}): org.debian.apt.install-or-remove-packages
Alternatively, you can just hit cancel in step 3 as it will also lead to step 4.
