Muon update manager keeps on giving this message - "This operation cannot continue since proper authorization was not provided"

I had this problem in Oct 2014, so did the same fix ..


sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

Is it a bug ? Even if I try to run the update manager after the above code, I still get the same error message.

A bug perhaps but most likely you have other issues with broken/held packages...

According to this you need polkit-kde-1 in order to have Muon ask for elevated privileges. So, before anything else, try:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall polkit-kde-1

If the system persists then do

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
In order to have your system fully updated. If you notice any error message after any of the aforementioned commands please post the complete message.
