Question Cannot access YaST, need to setuid root

While trying to do an online update, I get ?usr/lib/polkit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1 setuid root. When I enter the above in console, it says file not found. What do I need to do? I'm coming from Fedora 21.

To make sure I understand, are you trying to use YaST on Fedora?

YaST is an OpenSUSE tool. To the best of my knowledge, it has nothing to do with Fedora.

If I do understand correctly, please provide more detail about what exactly you are trying to accomplish.
