Description of problem: after manually running $ sudo /usr/share/dnfdaemon/dnfdaemon-system -d -v --notimeout I get a popup which reads: DNF root backend was not authorized Yum Extender will exit If I run sudo yumex-dnf and run it as root it runs as expected.

Look like the is a problem on the system with PolicyKit setup on the system. It should give you a dialog there ask for password. Does it work with other app need elevated privileges. Ex. the firewall config tool
I have never had any popup, it fails immediately.
Also, if I open the firewall config tool, a popup appears which correctly authenticates me and I can change firewall rules. Vet
And regular Yum Extender same thing - a popup appears which correctly authenticates me. The problem is ONLY with Yumex-DNF. Vet
Created attachment 1098881 [details] screenshot Yumex-DNF pops up these two errors as well.
Look like the same issues as in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1280181
