Hello,
those are indeed all the messages that were printed out to the console. Concerning the frequency of the bug, I notice three variants:
1. Everything works as expected (maybe 1/4 of the cases)
2. The authentication dialog gets stuck without the password field, but clicking on X makes the process continue normally (i.e. the feedback window for download and installation displays and get's accordingly updated) - about 1/2 of the cases
3. The authentication dialog gets stuck, after pressing X the feedback window shows "waiting for other tasks" and after a while a message reporting "it seems that the daemon died" appears, allthough in background the updates are actually installed, see #445893 - about 1/4 of the cases

I cannot think of anything particular in my setup, it's all stock configuration... The system was an alpha-6 clean install.
