    Cryptic authorization dialog won't go away

    I have been using Kubuntu for a little over a year, and recently upgraded to 10.04. The (attached) authorization dialog is asking me to supply a username and password to access a site, but the site is listed as "your valid user account or api key". If I choose cancel, the message just pops up again in a few minutes.

    Does anyone know how to find out what is generating this message, and ultimately how to get rid of it? It is not asking for my username and password as I have already tried that. My best guess is that it has something to do with apikeys, but that is beyond my expertise. The keys I am have added are pasted below in case that is helpful.

    sudo apt-key list
    [sudo] password for slaughjc:
    /etc/apt/trusted.gpg
