Lisi, I don't think so - he has a different theme.

He has a specific question not related to the installation of packages but
to the password prompt not accepting the password. 

I've had this same annoying password queries but only with gnome programs -
it still pops up from time to time. I think it was the wicd and I tried to
trace it, but couldn't spent much time on it and dropped the investigation.
Perhaps it is debian related. I've seen this also before TDE.

I'm sorry I can not help much.
