Package Manager Denies Permission to Install

[R. G. Newbury]

I was installing F10 to one of my boxes, and needed to install some 
-devel files. I found those on a mirror, in .../Everything/...

Clicking on the link gave the usual 'what do you want to do' message. 
Clicking install raised a warning about installing as root. I clicked 
continue....and got a message that I 'didn't have permission to 
continue' (or words to that effect) and my system, having assumed 
god-like powers refused to let me install the file!

WTF??? Does anyone know where this little bit of insanity is stored and 
how to remove it?
