Hello Seth,

I can now confirm that it does not matter if the test users are in no groups.

The issue persists.

Lines 49 to 56 in the link I provided earlier describe the package-install-untrusted action which should be triggered when installing local packages:

<action id="org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install-untrusted">
    <!-- SECURITY:
          - Normal users require admin authentication to install untrusted or
            unrecognised packages, as allowing users to do this without a
            password would be a massive security hole.
          - This is not retained as each package should be authenticated.
     -->
    <description>Install untrusted local file</description>

AFAIK this works as intended with other than aptcc backends, eg in Red Hat.
