  1. Try to update an app without write access.
  2. Get authentication prompt; cancel.
  3. Check for updates again and authorize this time.
  4. Note that Sparkle fails to copy the new app in place but still trashes the old one.

name after some failed testing.

Sparkle actually does the auto-renaming bit. It's in
