Public bug reported:
I may have messed up the setuid bits in /usr.
I wasn't paying attention when I did a chmod -R as root. I thought I fixed them
all because "Software Center" and "MySQL" were working fine again, after I
compared all files with "rws" with my Ubuntu 16.04 system and updated the 16.10
system with that permission. Now that, "Software Center" doesn't install with
Polkit and I got this error, I assume it's related to file ownership or setuid.
Maybe this isn't a bug per se, but it would be nice to get some pointer
from the error message for users who tend to be oblivious like me when
doing "User" stuff v. "Developer" stuff (well - I'm oblivious then too,
at times. :->)
