[Bug 1714820] [NEW] Muon refuses to elevate to superuser for package install

[Øystein Alværvik]

Public bug reported:

What I did: 1. Accessed Muon from Plasma's Program Menu (was not asked
for root password). 2. Searched for a package to install and checked it
for install. 3. Clicked "Apply" in the toolbar 4. Message pops up saying
(translated from Norwegian): "This action cannot continue because it was
unauthorised".
