Please check any passwords or account settings."

1.   Open apper, search on "gcc" (or gfortran, or many other applications)
2. Select "gcc - GNU C compiler"
3. Click "Apply"

A pop-up message "You have failed to provide correct authentication.  Please
check any passwords or account settings."
This happens with a lot of applications in apper.  With these applications, it
happens every time.
