Are you trying to use it as root? PolicyKit chokes on that:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447266
and as PolicyKit is what handles authentication in PackageKit (and thus also
KPackageKit), this also affects KPackageKit.

Try using KPackageKit as a non-root user. I could also provide you with a
patched PolicyKit which works as root if you absolutely need to run
KPackageKit as root.
