Bug Description
On the KDE desktop, when the notification for new software updates comes up and one clicks on the notification icons, the muon-updater interface starts. But when clicking on "Apply Changes", muon-updater pauses for a few seconds and then shows the message:
This operation cannot continue since proper authorization was not provided
At no point there was a dialog requesting any kind of authorization, so I'm not sure what's going on - but I can't get the software updated except using the terminal.
