Bug Description

Binary package hint: kpackagekit

Tried to install kcheckgmail. Selected kcheckgmail to install, clicked apply, got to a dialog to confirm installation of dependencies, clicked "ok", got error message:
You do not have the necessary privileges to perform this action.
I'm running the kubuntu netbook beta.
Package installs just fine from konsole using aptitude.

The above message is incorrect. You can fix this by installing the "policykit" package with apt-get. (Run konsole, type sudo apt-get install policykit) After installing PolicyKit, KPackageKit should work.
