Hmm, yeah. The assumption had been that since kdebase-workspace-bin depends on polkit-kde-1, KDE users would have it, and that since a lot of Ubuntu's default software depended on policykit-1-gnome GNOME users would have a policykit frontend.
This seems to have been a poor assumption, seeing as you had neither. ;-) I'll add a or dependency on polkit-kde-1 or policykit-1-gnome to libqapt-runtime, which does the actual polkit calls. ** Package changed: polkit-kde-1 (Ubuntu) => qapt (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to qapt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/833058 Title: Muon-updater doesn't ask for password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qapt/+bug/833058/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
