On OS X Opera Update tool assumes user has admin privileges & fails if not

Hi
On Mac OS, the update utility included with opera should check to see if the user it is being run under has admin privileges & if not ask for the credentials of an admin user in order for the update to complete successfully, instead the download happens, the tool attempts to update, fails, restarts Opera.

This is taken from a system connected to OpenDirectory if that makes a difference?
