I think the best course of action here is to fix the policykit-agent issue in policykit itself (somehow, just waving my hands currently ;), next is to fix it in aptdaemon, i.e. if its not available, to try start it somehow.
Of course, the fact that s-c does show a error is also a bug that needs investigation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/785117 Title: [MASTER] silently fails to install software after PolicyKit error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/785117/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
