This bug was fixed in the package software-properties - 0.81.4

---------------
software-properties (0.81.4) oneiric; urgency=low

  * softwareproperties/AptAuth.py:
    - move trustdb into tmpdir as gnupg insists in creating it
  * softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py:
    - use policykit for changing the update interval (LP: #816061)
