I am having an issue with package install that seems related to
PolicyKit.  update-system works fine, but if I select a package to
install I get the "The package could not be installed" error after being
prompted for creditials.

Here is the output from packagekitd

>From that output, I would think it authorized OK.  But... there is no other error and I see no other action.  Ideas?
