+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #771746 +++ Any attempt to use the Software Update or Add/Remove Software tools results in an 'Authenticate' dialog. The text is "The software is not from a trusted source. Do not update these packages unless you are sure it is safe to do so." Clicking on details gives the following: Action: org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install-untrusted Vendor: The PackageKit Project Testing indicates this dialog occurs for *any* package, from all the default repositories. I do not know why Software Update wants a root password as no changes to the repository configuration have been changed. This behavior started after updating to PackageKit 0.6.22.1.fc16.
I see this too.
This just occured again for me as well. I will provide a yum history of updates soon.
According to the package log, Richard removed[1] Nils patch from bug 771746 with the latest release thinking it had been upstreamed. Unfortunately only part 1[2] of the patch was. I cannot find a matching commit for part 2 of his patch upstream.

I've looked into this yesterday a bit and found that using pkcon (the command line tool) from the 0.6.x branch reproduced this bug reliably. The same set of commits is in the master branch however and the behavior isn't faulty.
I'm seeing this as well; yum update reports no problems with the updated packages and successfully updates the system, however, this bug effectively makes the graphical tool useless since no one should be installing untrusted packages.
I've come up with a patch which fixes the behavior in every situation imaginable to me, installing or updating, signed or unsigned or signed with an unknown key present in /etc/pki/rpm-gpg. PackageKit-0.6.22-2.fc16 is building right now with this patch, please test thoroughly. Thanks!

This might have regressed again, I see this issue with PackageKit-0.7.4-1.fc17.x86_64 and gnome-packagekit-3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64 each time I try to update or add packages. This happens even with all *-updates-testing repositories disabled. yum on the command line has nothing to complain about.
