This isn't really a problem for me, but pointing out the issue in case it might relate to a deeper security problem that someone might want to investigate.
I'm running Kubuntu 11.10 which was installed over Ubuntu, as a result there are extra programs that are lurking around from the old Ubuntu installs.
If I use the Ubuntu Update Manager program, I am able to install software updates without being prompted for a password. If I use the Muon update manager, I am asked for my password. This has been going on for a while, but seeing how this is a home PC it really doesn't concern me about security risks.
If I can provide any info that might be helpful in fixing any security concerns, just let me know. I'm a novice user so you might have to provide detailed instructions if you want me to pull any logs or config info.
There is also the chance that my system has a unique issue due to my adding and removing packages in a semi-random fashion, in which case I'm not too worried about fixing it.
