OK - I believe this may be the same problem: in Kubuntu's "Software Updates - KDE Control module", when I click on "Apply all available updates", I get the error message "You don't have the necessary privileges to perform this action."

Running sudo aptitude safe-upgrade works fine though.

Running polkit-auth --obtain org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update prompts for a username and password, asks whether it should keep the privilege, and then outputs "Successfully obtained the authorization for org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update."

I still get the same error message in the Software Updates window, though.

Please let me know if you want any other info.
