Running fresh Lucid install with all recent patches on. Kernel: 2.6.32-22-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 3 19:31:57 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
The above does not work for me. However, if I start /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 from a terminal window, I get:
--------------->>
gmos@roadrunner-u:~$ /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:3748): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `_PolkitError'
(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:3748): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed
<<----------------
and while I leave /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 running the Software Center runs as expected.
Some more info.
Running Software Center from a terminal window gives:
--------------->>

And pressing install for some application then adds:
------------------>>

Also tried running Software Center from a terminal with sudo. This gives:

but installations work fine after this point.
I have this problem too.
