Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: software-center
When running software center as a normal user on KDE (run from kicker or
from terminal) doesn't allow me to install packages.
When run from terminal you get the following error:
WARNING:root:_on_trans_error:
org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.Error.NotAuthorized: ('system-bus-name',
{'name': ':1.46'}) is not authorized: org.debian.apt.install-packages
When you run software center as the root user from KDE you get an ugly
GTK themed software center.
Software center should, like aptitude does, ask to become root when the
user wants to install a package. Or it should tell the user that it
needs to become root, atm, it just stays silent.
