Hi!
I don't think this is a bug :) First of all: You don't need to execute
pkcon using sudo, just running pkcon is enough. PolicyKit will ask you
for your password. Also, pkcon never asks you to confirm an
installation, if it only wants to install the package you specified on
the command-line. Pkcon will ask you to confirm stuff, if it has
additional changes, e.g. package removal or additional packages which
have to be installed. If you execute pkcon a second time, installing
"network-manager-gnome", all additional packages are aleady installed,
so pkcon does not ask anything. Please do a autoremove (sudo apt-get
--purge autoremove) and execute pkcon install again, I bet you will be
asked for confirmation :)
Cheers,
Matthias
