[Bug 353278] Re: [jaunty] kpackagekit doesn't prompt for user password

[Steve Kroon]

OK - I believe this may be the same problem: in Kubuntu's "Software
Updates - KDE Control module", when I click on "Apply all available
updates", I get the error message "You don't have the necessary
privileges to perform this action."

Running sudo aptitude safe-upgrade works fine though.

Running polkit-auth --obtain org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update
prompts for a username and password, asks whether it should keep the
privilege, and then outputs "Successfully obtained the authorization for
org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update."

I still get the same error message in the Software Updates window,
though.

Please let me know if you want any other info.
