[Bug 1320041] [NEW] Muon-updater fails to ask for authentication

[Darren Peets]

Public bug reported:

When attempting to install updates in muon-updater, clicking Install
Updates immediately returns a dialog box stating  "This operation cannot
continue since proper authorisation was not provided", without first
asking for a password.

Reinstalling polkit-kde-1 does not help, killing qaptworker2 does not
help.

Actual behaviour:  the above error message.
Expected behaviour:  software asks for password, installs updates

  Installed: 2.2.0-0ubuntu3.1
