I think the problem is that even with the 'fix' there is no hard dependency on polkit-kde-1.
Let's look at it logically: Muon is specifically designed to run on the desktops of unprivileged users and update their systems. To do that it needs root privileges and to get those it needs a mechanism to ask the user to authorise it to run as root. Therefore having polkit-kde-1 installed is necessary for Muon to function properly, so it should be a hard dependency not a 'recommends' or anything else. -- 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
