When yumex is started with the root privileges from a terminal, it is not possible to install or erase any package.

3.0.15

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a terminal
2. Start a root session (su or su - )
3. Start yumex --root
4. Select any package to be installed or erased. 
5. Click on the [Apply] button.

Actual results:

Nothing happens.
The response in the terminal is "DEBUG - network interface enp8s0 (r8169) is connected".

Expected results:

It's been a month, how come nothing has happened?. This is a serious problem, it's impossible to use Yumex on a remote machine in it's current broken state.

Thanks for the fix. However, I will wait until it shows up in updates-testing. Hopefully, that will be soon.
