Description Frank Daniel 2008-07-21 20:38:26 UTC 
When ever I try to update my system, I get the popup:

"Failed to update system: Authorisation could not be obtained" 
(The spelling is correct)

uname -a says: 
Linux Mongoose 2.6.25.5-1.1-default #1 SMP 2008-06-07 01:55:22 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Comment 1 Cyril Hrubis 2008-07-25 13:23:35 UTC 
which tool are you using to update?
Comment 2 Frank Daniel 2008-08-12 19:50:44 UTC 
The auto-update tool that is standard with the OS.  I start getting the messages right after the installation.

Comment 6 JP Rosevear 2008-09-10 11:57:11 UTC 
This error would indicate that PolicyKit is not available.  Is the package PolicyKit-gnome installed?

rpm -q PolicyKit-gnome
Comment 7 Frank Daniel 2008-09-17 19:20:28 UTC 
rpm -q PolicyKit-gnome gives
PolicyKit-gnome-0.8-4.1
