OK, there was an update this morning and it behaved as expected, i.e.
prompted me for a password then installed the updates correctly.

It could be bug 867737. While either the gnome or kde polkit frontend
will work, the gnome frontend listener process won't start in KDE by
default.

(1) Output of pkexec:
indigojo@ubuntu-desktop:~$ pkexec whoami
AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.policykit.exec ===
Authentication is needed to run `/usr/bin/whoami' as the super user
Authenticating as: Yusuf Smith,,, (indigojo)
Password:
AUTHENTICATION COMPLET
It's not supposed to use sudo, but uses policykit. This works fine
under a standard Ubuntu and a standard Kubuntu install. This is not an
upstream jockey bug, so retargetting.
When do you "pkexec whoami", do you get a dialog for your password?
Please give me the output of
dpkg -l '*pol*kit*' |
