As the subject says, I start the aforementioned application (gnome menu->system->add/remove software) as usual user and I select some packages to install; when I click install , I get the message that I didn't provide the authentication and installation fails. Is this a reported bug? If not, against what component do I report it? --
If I run 'curl' on the URL for the rawhide mirror list from /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo, I get:
[root@tlondon ~]# curl 'https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=rawhide-debug&arch=$base...' curl: (60) Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle" of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file using the --cacert option. If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might not match the domain name in the URL). If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use the -k (or --insecure) option. [root@tlondon ~]#

I fear this is a misunderstanding; sorry if I wasn't clear enough : the error I get refers to user credentials, as in I should've have been asked for the root password in order to apply the changes (install software).
