8.5.2 SmartUpgrade on Linux client is prompting for root password

I am running 8.5.1 FP1 on a CentOS workstation and created an upgrade kit in the SmartUpgrade database. I was prompted (eventually) to upgrade and after it downloaded the update and confirmed I wanted to install it I got a prompt asking for the root password. I entered the root password, but it didn’t like it. I entered my account password and others, but none were accepted.

Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know what account the upgrade script really wants the password for?

TIA,

Mark Crosby
