Thomas, can you please comment on the possibility of dumping the kupdateapplet packagekit backend for 11.2 and going with the zypp backend? To me it looks that should be the preferred choice anyway and it would solve this mess in a very trivial way, but the backend seems to have issues here (sometimes correctly reports updates available, but then complains about having nothing to do when told to proceed).
kupdateapplet's zypp backend has neither been maintained nor tested for a long time. That's the reason why we shouldn't use the zypp backend as default. Comment #24 tells that the packagekit backend works aside from packagekit authentication. I think authentication should be fixed instead of using a workaround.
