polkit-tqt and polkit-agent-tde packages have been there for a number of releases already. Unless you have some special config banning root, you basically don't need them if you are root, since you already have all the permission you need being root. Those packages are meant for non-root users and allows them to authorize execution of actions that need special permission. There has been no changes between R14.1.2 and R14.1.3 that would affect that, so if you see a difference, the problem is likely somewhere else (polkit config of those non TDE tools perhaps?). pkexec is a polkit related tool, there is nothing in TDE that would/could block it.
Hmmm, so nothing changed from 14.1.2. I wonder what broke here or why this behavior now exists.
Sigh.
