Public bug reported:

Im running kubuntu 12.10 and i see that muon continues asking for the
password even after i have set NOPASSWD in sudo at /etc/sudoers

I see that synaptic doesnt prompt for password anymore and i also see
that synaptic has a file to set polkit policy:

:~$ dpkg -L synaptic|grep policy
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/com.ubuntu.pkexec.synaptic.policy

In muon theres no such file, but i also see that in the window that prompts the password appears in details lists what polkit policies uses:
Action:                     Install or remove packages
Supplier:                  Kubuntu
polkit.subject-pid: 9081
polkit.caller-pid:    9088

So i have tried to put those polkit policies as the ones from synaptic but it did not made any difference.
Also created a file for muon like the one from synaptic (in which i replaced synaptic for muon) -> /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/com.ubuntu.pkexec.muon.policy

and it also continued prompting a password when hitting the apply
button.
