--- Comment #3 from MMz ---
Sorry to wait more trials.
The answer to your question is NO, that user (actually both "sudo" as UID=1000
and UID=1001) can not commit to install the package by simply using `pkcon
install ` on the command line and entering its password at the
next message prompt window. It fails Authentication.
Than, in order to commit the install, it has to start the command as sudo using
'sudo pkcon install `.
See next copy of terminal screens for both command, in the same sequence, from
UID=1000(brixiamate).
And than an abstract from /var/log/auth.log file in the same moments of
session.
