When I try to install via sudo, apt reports that I already have the
latest version. I rebooted as suggested, but I still get the same error.

Title:
Kubuntu desktop missing dependency on polkit-kde-1
Status in “policykit-1-gnome” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “polkit-kde-1” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After installing KDE on regular Ubuntu using "apt-get install kubuntu-
desktop", I am not able to change any of the system settings requiring
administrative privileges due to the lack of the installation of
"polkit-kde-1". It will fail with an error as described here below
with Muon when I expected to be shown a dialogue to enter my password.
Also other KDE software is affected. For example, when applying
changes in Muon package manager, I get the error "This operation
cannot continue since proper authorisation was not provided".
Installing polkit-kde-1 solves this issue and a proper dialogue is
opened to ask for the (sudo) password.
Steps to reproduce (example):
- Install regular Ubuntu
- Install "kubuntu-desktop" using apt-get
- During installation choose KDM as default login manager
- Log in in the KDE desktop
- Open (for example) System settings -> Login Screen. change Appearance,
click the "Apply" button.
Expected result: An authorization dialogue shown to enter my password,
after which the changed would be applied.
Actual result: Error dialogue: "This operation cannot continue since
proper authorisation was not provided". None of the changes were
applied.
After manual installation of polkit-kde-1, logging out and logging
back in, the result is as expected.
My recommendation is to fix the dependencies/recommends of the KDE
suite in Ubuntu in order to overcome this usability issue.
