Description of problem:
When consolehelper is set up to run a program that doesn't actually exist, it
asks for the password (if you're not already root) then exits silently.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
usermode 1.60-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run a program that has consolehelper, etc. set up but which doesn't actually
exist (e.g., up2date-config).
2. If necessary, enter root password.

Actual Results:  Silence.

Expected Results:  Some kind of error message. IMO silent failure is dangerous
on an OS where "silence is success" is a common paradigm. Even though the
primary bug in this example is that up2date-config should be totally nonexistent
(or should run up2date --config), that bug reveals another bug (consolehelper's
lack of error or other response).

Additional info:

The up2date example described above assumes up2date 2.9.46-1.
