Middle kid who has been volun-told to make dinner just said they were running to the shops.
“What do you need?”
“Cream- I’m making a pasta dish”
“Funny, it being Christmas and all, I just knew someone would need cream and picked some up yesterday.”

I do the same on the equinoxes + clean the central heating magnetic filter.

It turns out there _is_ a way to do this.
You can create a new polkit rule and put it in a file in /etc/polkit-1/rules.d to prevent the packagekit offline update polkit action from being invoked.
