[LDTP-Dev] Strange situation

[Ara Pulido]

Hello all,

Let me explain the situation I have been running lately:

I am writing some tests for the Update Manager in Ubuntu [1]. This
application searches for updates in the Ubuntu repositories and install
the selected ones. 

The first time the application runs, if you check for new updates, it
will ask for the SUDO password. The test runs correctly.

The second time, as the SUDO password is valid for sometime, it does not
ask for the password. In the test script this is solved with something
like:

if guiexist(SUDO_WINDOW):
   set_password()
else
   do nothing

After that the test tries to close the update-manager window. If the
application asked for the password, it closes correctly, but if it
bypasses the password (because it was already set), it does not find the
update-manager anymore:

I tried running reinitldt(), but it fails.

Does anyone know why does this happen and how it could be solved?

Thanks,
Ara.
