I got linked here from another bug marked as a duplicate of this one. I don't know of a better place to report this--if there is, please let me know...
I've been running Kubuntu Lucid since Beta 1 and I think in that distribution policykit-1-kde wasn't ready yet ... it came in some later update. I've installed and re-installed it and the base policykit-1 package and I experience the same results. (In fact, I did a purge on policykit-1-kde, which removed several hundred packages including kde-workspace-bin. I immediately re-installed the affected packages and rebooted--so far so good. Still experiencing the same behavior with respect to kpackagekit.)
Symptoms are this:
- policykit-1 is installed, as are policykit-1-kde and policykit-1-gnome
- polkitd is running
- polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 is running
- /usr/share/dbus-1/services/gnome-org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.AuthenticationAgent.service does not exist
- /etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop exists
- /etc/xdg/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1.desktop exists
- ~/.config/autostart/ is empty
- polkit-auth --obtain org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update outputs the following and immediate returns with exit status 1:
Attempting to obtain authorization for org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update.
polkit-grant-helper: given auth type (1 -> no) is bogus
Failed to obtain authorization for org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update.

polkit-grant-helper: given auth type (1 -> no) is bogus
Failed to obtain authorization for org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update.
- There is nothing in /var/log/auth.log related to this and nothing that I can see in .xsession-errors.
- I do not even get the Gnome authentication dialog
If I run "kdesudo kpackagekit" then I can install packages without being prompted for a password. Without kdesudo it says "Waiting for Authentication" and times out after 5 minutes or so with a "Failed to authenticate" message. I am also unable to update the clock.
I don't get prompted for a password at all to apply updates and updates install without a problem. I do get prompted for a password when running the file sharing configuration and in a few other places.
