Ok I didn't realise it was that complicated. In my case I install a 'Kubuntu' system by first installing Ubuntu and then installing the kubuntu-desktop metapackage, since I want to have all the config tools that come with Ubuntu and I find some of the GTK apps better than any QT-based alternative (GIMP, Firefox, Libreoffice etc.).
So if kubuntu-desktop always installed polkit-kde-1 like you suggest this should be enough to solve the problem for me, and for most people I guess. But that wasn't the case with 11.10 when I installed it a few months ago. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to qapt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/833058 Title: Muon-updater doesn't ask for password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qapt/+bug/833058/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
