The packages from home:tgoettcher (I updated kde4-updateapplet and kde4-updateapplet-packagekit) don't crash :-) Great! Thanks for testing.
But I still get a permission denied message: User is not permitted: org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-sources-refresh If PolicyKit-kde 0.2 is installed a popup should ask for permission. As far as I know this version isn't available as package yet.
The package 'PolicyKit-gnome' contains 'polkit-gnome-authorization' that can be used to modify the permissions in the meantime. I close this bug because the crash is fixed.

Unfortunately things are more "interesting" ;-) If I start the applet in konsole, it doesn't crash. This was also what I tested when reporting that it does no longer crash. But: When the applet is auto-started after boot/login, it crashes again. Hmmm, could there be a race condition (like a required service not yet running at login time)? Another option might be the "don't check updates when system load is high" - around login, I typically have a load of 5.

Christian, does the package from home:lnussel:Factory/PolicyKit fix the problem?
At least kupdateapplet doesn't crash anymore (I really tested by rebooting this time ;-) The remaining part: kupdateapplet more or less hangs displaying "checking for updates" with the progressbar at "100%, finished" while it should probably display a "permission denied" message. Console output: # kupdateapplet, manually clicked "check for updates" Attempting to obtain authorization for org.freedesktop.packagekit.refresh-cache. polkit-grant-helper: given auth type (1 -> no) is bogus Failed to obtain authorization for org.freedesktop.packagekit.refresh-cache.
