From 8c0f9073c7da808461acfc016cc291e4aba9c1a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Philip Withnall Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 17:15:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] updatectl: Add a --no-ask-password argument While commit 83c1e8ff5f9 added support for interactive polkit authentication in `updatectl`, some users might want to disable that for some use cases; so add the standard `--no-ask-password` argument.
