--- Comment #2 from Nate Graham <[email protected]> ---
The decision about which operations that require authentication get
auto-accepted for you (to prevent annoying experiences like the one you're
experiencing here) is something that's up to distros, not KDE. You'll need to
bring this up to the Kubuntu folks and recommend that they adjust the polkit
rules they ship.

Packages are only late when using a distro that deliberately doesn't ship
up-to-date software, and that's a major problem for KDE. We always want to
encourage people to be using the latest version, not some random version that
was released months or years ago that no developer is still using and isn't
eligible for any more bug-fix releases.

How do you know the bugs you're reporting against an older version aren't fixed
already in a newer one if you aren't using it?

If literally every single bug report you submit against an old version is
indeed still present in a newer one, you're a very lucky person. Unfortunately
my experience as the person who has triaged the most bug reports in all of KDE
for the past 8 years shows otherwise, that the majority of bugs reported
against old versions are already fixed, with the likelihood rising the older
the version is.
