There are several issues in this bug
1. working when run as normal user but failing when the updater
(gpk-update-icon) is run as root. This is not supported and should not be done.
The updater does not need to be root, it is designed to be run as a normal user
and gains needed permissions through PolicyKit. Running GTK/PolicyKit apps as
root is a security risk. In 11.1 the updater will exit when run as root
2. A few reports that PolicyKit-gnome was not installed or a corrupt
PolicyKit.conf file and after fixing those issues it worked. Should be all
cleared up in 11.1
The remaining issues for cases that have PolicyKit-gnome installed, valid
PolicyKit.conf file, and running as regular user are hopefully fixed in 11.1 as
well as I am not aware of any reports of this in 11.1.
I am closing as fixed in 11.1
